The light

“And this Light never fails to shine through darkness— Light that darkness could not overcome!”
‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬ ‭TPT‬‬

In Australia there are caves called the Jenolan Caves not far from Sydney. When in the caves you need a light to guide you. Once when I was in the caves the guide turned off the lights and it was pitch black. To proceed without certainty of death would not have been possible. 

We live in a very dark world, one that darkens every day. Without a light to guide us we are fearfully lost. This scripture from the gospel of John tells us there is a light. Who is that light? The previous verse relates: “A fountain of life was in him, for his life is light for all humanity.”John‬ ‭1‬:‭4‬ ‭TPT‬‬
Who was John speaking about? Jesus. Jesus said of Himself:  “I am light to the world, and those who embrace me will experience life-giving light, and they will never walk in darkness.”(John‬ ‭8‬:‭12‬ ‭TPT‬‬)
He also said: ‘I way, the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father but through Me’(John 14:6)

We have a light, a safe and non-extinguishable light in Jesus. Yielding to Him is the best thing we can do. Amen!
