Follow the Light

Meditate. Focus on the Light in your life.

Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, "I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won't have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life." John 8:12

Jesus was the light of the world—He IS the LIGHT of the World—even now. Follow Him and you won’t be wandering around aimlessly in the dark. He is the light that leads to life…eternal life. Jesus called not only to the people that were listening to Him teach at the Temple, but He calls to all that listen to Him even now: follow me.

·         Jesus called out to them, "Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!"  Matthew 4:19

·         But Jesus told him, "Follow me now. Let the spiritually dead bury their own dead." Matthew 8:22

·         As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at his tax collector's booth. "Follow me and be my disciple," Jesus said to him. So Matthew got up and followed him. Matthew 9:9

·         Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me. Matthew 16:24

·         Jesus told him, "If you want to be perfect, go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." Matthew 19:21

·         My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. John 10:27

·         Anyone who wants to be my disciple must follow me, because my servants must be where I am. And the Father will honor anyone who serves me. John 12:26  (underlined for emphasis)

Follow the light. Jesus is still the light of the world. Just as the light shone over the stable where He was born, He shines in the world now. Listen to His voice, His call. Will you respond and follow Him?
