1 John 1: 3
And this is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.
John 17: 22 – 23
“The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me.”
John 14: 23
Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him.”
Last Monday I sent you a verse and message about our being the light of the world now. While Jesus was in the world, he was the light of the world but when he left, we became the light in the darkness. This miracle is accomplished in us having become the temple of God. Jesus’ death and resurrection, his redemption and restoration of us, has made us God’s temple and abode.
I like these scriptures in conjunction for showing that God is light and that He has come to live inside us. I just love that the God of the universe, the one who actually made the sun is living inside of us. He is the light that is inside. He is light and there is no darkness in Him. That is how we have become the light shining through the darkness.
How glorious is it that the light of the universe (and beyond) is living inside of you? That is why it is pointless to try to be a bright shining light. We have only to let the light that is already inside of us out. We are one with God and Jesus; unified in them. Therefore, when we let that nature show, our new nature, we bring glory to the kingdom of God. God’s nature is alive in us. We live and breathe in the light and by the light. The light of the world has become our very essence.
You are the light of the world. You have the source of light living right inside of you. Fellowship with God and enjoy His magnificence inside you.
