The Light that Leads Us Home
We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. Peter 1:19
Church,
I love how Peter starts this verse speaking about the certainty of this message they were preaching. This was not something he had heard second hand but it was a message that he had experienced himself and had seen its power first hand.
He describes this message as a light shining in a dark place. When Jesus Christ entered into this world, He was the light shining in a dark place. He was the hope of salvation for a world destined for judgement. This message is The Word of God that leads us to the Lord Jesus Christ. It is a message that we must pay full attention to and follow. For in the same way Jesus Christ brought light to this dark world, He can enter our hearts and bring light into a dark and broken place.
Thank you Lord that you did not leave us as orphans but sent us the light to lead us home…
Happy Hanukkah (The Festival of Light!),
