Live in the light
John 8:12 NKJV “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness but have the light of life.”
The term achluophobia is the fear of the dark or darkness. ‘Achluo’ is Greek word for darkness and ‘phobia’ means fear. It is a simple phobia specific to the environment of darkness. Being in complete darkness is frightening. It induces a sense of helplessness. And yet physical darkness is nothing compared to emotional, relational, and spiritual darkness. Today you may feel like you are in a dark place with no way out: “Your girlfriend left you for another guy.” Or, “You are probably headed toward divorce. Your husband has been cheating on you.” Or, “You are depressed and weep for no reason. When will the blues go away, you ask?” Or, “You are wrestling with a terrible illness, and you are basically a shut-in. You are in a dark place and need help.” If that is your story, there is help, and there is hope. Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness but have the light of life.” If you are willing to turn to Him today, you will discover that He can illuminate your path and show you the way out of the darkness you are in. When you turn on the light, darkness has to leave. And Jesus is the light that removes our spiritual and emotional darkness. Notice that Jesus did not say He is a light, or one among many lights, but instead the light. He did not say He is light just for some, but the light of the world. Regardless of where you live in the entire universe, Jesus is your answer. He is the WORD that brings light (Psalm 119:105). If you are living in darkness, He is inviting you to come to Him and step into the light, right now!
