So here's a simple experiment. Turn on a light in a dark room. What happens? The darkness leaves. Now turn off the light. What happens? The darkness returns.
Results: Darkness leaves when light is on, darkness does not return until light is turned off.
Application: We are the light. We as believers of our Lord Jesus Christ are lights, for He is a light and He is within us.
So if we are the lights then we have the power, the Holy Spirit, within us to spread into darkness. And more importantly, we not only have the power to spread into darkness but we have the power to OVERTAKE darkness.
Do we realize this power? Do we recognize it? Do we trust it? Do we walk in it? Do we accept that it's a responsibility not just an option?
Our Father has given us so much. His love undeniable is evident in what Jesus did on the cross. But do we make that love clear to those around us? Do we show them His love in simple ways?
In these turmultuous times, people say that darkness is spreading. As proven in the experiment, darkness only spreads when lights are turned off. We as a people, as followers of Jesus, as a CHURCH must turn our lights on, high and mighty, and spread Christ's love to those around us. Only then will darkness subside and light prevail.
