Walk in the Light (Dec 25)

But if we walk in the light, as he is the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
                                      1 John 1:7 NIV

Did you realize the word 'light' has 3 entries in the dictionary and as I count, 88 definitions.  Basically the entries revolve around luminous energy, application of force, and to come to rest (as in settling upon something).

Jesus stated that He is the light of the world.  Certainly Jesus lights our path and does provide guidance, direction and purpose to our lives.  His provision of direction is not by a great deal of force, for his yoke is light.  Finally by walking in the Light, by grace through faith in what Jesus has done, we will enter into, or in this case 'settle' in heaven.

Scott blogged recently about the end times.  How those times were a time of disorder.  When we walk in the light, we allow the Holy Spirit to work, to provide Spiritual Fruits.  In addition, walking in the light allows us to keep God in mind and, as a result, we avoid being, " turned over to a depraved mind to do what ought not be done," as stated in
Romans 1:23.

Remember, it is the blood of Christ that washes away our sin.

Give thanks for Jesus' birth today, for because of His work, we are made righteous.

Merry Christmas.

May you feel God's riches blessing today and in the New Year.

In Christ,
