The Source of Life

The Word was the source of life, and this life brought light to men."John 1:4 (Today's English Version

Jesus Christ was the one (the Word) who created all things: he was the source of life itself. Verse 3 tells us that through him and by him all creation came into existence. But Jesus Christ was more than just an instrument used by the Creator to bring life to the world; he is life itself! The light he brought to the world shone brightly and with it came spiritual illumination. Those who followed it were led to life eternal! Jesus Christ, the source of our life, now offers us eternal life if we will follow him. He is the light that will guide us to heaven itself! If we choose to follow him, we too, will be infused with the light of Christ. Let us resolve this day to let Christ shine through us to those around us, letting his light lead others to eternal life, found only in him

Father, in heaven, we praise you for the breath of life that you gave to us through the Word. More than that, we thank you for allowing his light to shine on our darkness and lead us to eternal life. Thank you for not leaving us in darkness, but giving us life! Lord Jesus, continue to shine through us. What a privilege it is that you are allowing us to be a part of your light! We pray that your light may shine through us and it will lead men to you and eternal life. Amen
