ARE WE STILL WALKING IN DARKNESS
“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.”
1 Peter 2: 9 (King James Version)
Jesus has called us out of darkness into His marvellous light and has provided the light for us. We read in the Bible “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life” (John 8: 12). He has instructed us to follow Him. Are we following Jesus and walking in His light or are we still following Satan and walking in the darkness of our sins?
If we are still walking in the darkness of our past sins and mistakes, it’s not His fault. Our precious Saviour paid an expensive price for the privilege of having His light in our hearts. He gave His life’s blood for us as He hung on that cross of horror and excruciating pain so that we can have His light in our hearts. He has done all that He can do for us. It is up to us to stop walking in the darkness of Satan and walk in the light of our Saviour.
Are we praising Him to all those around us? A very dear pastor friend of mine said in a sermon “If you want to fly higher than a kite, start bragging on Jesus.” We brag about our children and grandchildren. How much more we should brag on Jesus! We show the pictures of our children to everyone but often we neglect to show the picture of Jesus on our faces by our smiles. How we must hurt Him and break His heart. Are you still walking in the darkness of Satan or are you walking in the light of Jesus? Don’t allow Satan to keep you in bondage any longer. Give your heart and life to Jesus today!
