LIGHTS IN THE DARKNESS

    LIGHTS IN THE DARKNESS are shining as the traffic heads through the cities and twist its way to where home may be.   As we head into the New Year, let us think about Lights in the Darkness and how it fits into our walk along Life's Road.
    Many people, perhaps one of you, travel many hours on the road each day just to go to work, and come home.   Others are on the move because their work is doing just that.   
    This time of year, Christmas lights are still up, and glistening in the dark.     
    How can I walk in the road of life if I can not see ahead of me?
I cannot.   Even a car or truck has to have both rear lights and front lights...as the driver heads into the night, or gets up in the early morning hours to head into the day later on, has to have its lights on.
     Jesus said "Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
        Again Jesus said "I am the Light of the world.  He that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."
    Again Jesus said, in his last hours, praying to the Father "Father, the hour is come, glorify thy Son, that thy Son may also glorify thee: as thou has given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.  And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent."   John 17.1 - 3 
     The tragedy of darkness is the inability to see one's way.  Jesus is that Light to light up the darkness as we travel on Life's Road.  I encourage you to let Him become your Light.   
     John 3.16  Jesus said to Nicodemus one night long ago "for God so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
