Jesus said: “He who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” The light of life means two things:
•The light which issues from the source of life or •The light which gives life.
In this passage it means both.
•Jesus is the very light of God come among men; and •Jesus is the light which gives men life. Just as the flower can never blossom when it never sees the sunlight, so our lives can never flower with the grace and beauty they ought to have until they are irradiated with the light of the presence of Jesus.
In this passage Jesus talks of following himself. We often speak of following Jesus; we often urge men to do so. What do we mean? How do we follow Jesus as our LIGHT and stay with Him and not walk in darkness?
Listen carefully as Dr. Barnett expounds on following Christ, our Light!
