Devotion 9/28, He is the Only Way!
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”. John 8:12
Jesus has a multitude of people following Him, they end up in the temple treasury.
Oh, if they could only grasp the fact that their long awaited Messiah was standing right in front of them! The precious Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29) was breathing the same air as they were. They could look into His eyes and would be looking into the eyes of God (John 14:6)!
Jesus begins teaching them that they are in spiritual darkness and that He provides the “light” that they need to eradicate that darkness permanently. Apart from Him there is no deliverance from the blackness of sin, there is no guidance along the paths of life, and there is no knowledge as to the real meaning of life and the issues of eternity.
Our path is clear as Christians. The only way to everlasting life is through Jesus Christ, God in the flesh. He is the only Way (our path to eternity), the only Truth (Jesus is God) and our Life (without Jesus, we are lost in the darkness of this world and only He can light our path to salvation and everlasting life).
Father, how can I ever thank you for the Light of my life? Until my face reflects the light of your glory from being in your eternal presence, Jesus will light my way through this dark world. Thank you for sending your Light so I could find your life! I praise and thank you in the name of Jesus, the Light of the world. Amen.
