Have you ever stopped to think how important light is? From an early age we realize light makes us feel safe. As a youngster, we probably had a night light in our bedroom. At the very least we would ask for the hall light to stay on while we went to sleep.
Lighted head gear could save a life. Without proper illumination while exploring a dark cave, injury or death could be a step or two away. Lighting the path in front of us is critical to our safety and peace of mind. It is much easier to explore new places when we can see where we are going, when we can tell if the next step is the right one to make. A properly trained adventurer knows this. Whenever we are subjected to darkness we seek out light.
Paul says something similar in Ephesians when he tells the people to live as children of Light. “For though your hearts were once full of darkness, now you are full of light from the LORD, your behavior should show it.” (Ephesians 5:8) We are being told that we have Jesus, the light of our world, in our lives and we should act like it. Just as the cave surveyor knows the importance of staying in the light, we too, as followers of Jesus need to stay in the light.
