Children of Light

But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. -  1 Thessalonians 5.4-5

This old world is still locked in its darkness. When Jesus came He came into a world of darkness. The darkness rejected Him. When He comes again He will come into a world of darkness.

The difference now is that He has left us here to walk as children of light. We keep His light burning in preparation for Him to come again.

We are children of light. We are children of the day. We live our lives to shine as lights to all who know us.

As we move along we need to be like beacons in the darkness. The world stumbles in darkness. It doesn’t even know what causes it to stumble.

The blessing though is that the darker the night the brighter our light and the more needed our light is. Every place we go, every walk we take, every shop we go into, every time we go to work, every time we are in a Zoom meeting, every time we do or go anywhere we must walk like children of light reflecting the light of the gospel to every person we meet.

The darkness of this world is not our darkness. There is no darkness so dark that it swallows light.

Once again, this little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine.
