John 8:12 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.’
Simple, really. Follow Jesus and we will never walk in darkness. It’s the simple directions that always tend to elude us. Coffee is hot—yet I still burn my tongue because I sip it too soon. Stop—yet actually making a complete stop at a stop sign seems really hard for a lot of us. Do not enter—yet is this the door we try to open every time?! Now, it’s different with long directions. Somehow, I seem to feel obligated to read and follow a set of instructions to build a Lego house with my children or learn, finally, how to work my “smart” phone. Maybe Jesus should have said more here. Or maybe we should just learn to pay more attention to easy stuff rather than glossing over it each and every day because it’s not much to see.
Aha!
Light bulb!
