John 12:46
46 I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.
How many of you have been out in the woods at night? Maybe camping in the wilderness? Perhaps fishing a river on a still overcast night? All of these activities can put you in a dark environment but a single flashlight or even a candle can make a drastic change in what you can see. What if you are in a small room with no windows or lights? When the door is shut you can't see anything. But no matter how dark that room is a small single candle will shine throughout the room. If the flame grows the darkness leaves.
When Jesus said "I have come into the world as a light", the world was in darkness. People were not following God's commandments. Sin was rampant on the earth. Jesus came as a single light to show us the way. As believers and followers of Christ he has put that light into us. It is our responsibility to not cover the light of Christ but to let it shine. It is our responsibility to lead others from the darkness into the light.
No matter how dark a place is it can not overtake light, but if we cover our light because of fear or persecution we may revert to our sinful ways. Let your LIGHT SHINE! Bring others to Christ by letting them see the light in your life!
