Light Travels Fast!

“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but  have the light of life.” ~John 8:12

How is it possible to avoid darkness when we live in a dark, depressing world where it seems to be lurking everywhere? The morning, mid-day and evening news are always broadcasting devastating events. We're sure to find more bad news packed into our local newspaper. Unfortunately, bad news travels fast, but guess what? Good news travels faster!

Have you ever heard about the speed of light? Well, it's pretty darn fast! The Light of the world-Jesus is the BEST news you'll ever hear. What came first...the sound or the light? Well, just like in the natural, light beats sound every time. 

The same goes for spiritual light. Light comes first. Allow me to elaborate. Light is referred to revelation, or understanding. When something is uncovered, we see it.  When we see Christ in the scriptures, or even hear about Him in a message, immediately a "light" comes on, then when we hear the words, and we believe. 

In the midst of darkness, we have the Light of life!

Think about it. When you turn on a light, darkness flees, it disappears. Light will always overpower it. So shall it be for those who choose to follow Christ, they shall always overtake dark forces.

"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." ~ John 1:5
