“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” JOHN 8:12
If you follow Jesus, you will never be in total darkness. He may lead you through some dark places, but the darkness will never be all-consuming.
One day He will lead you through the darkest valley, the valley of the shadow of death. But even there, He will walk with you. His light will shine in the darkness, and the darkness will not overcome it. Follow Jesus, and you will be able to say with David, “The LORD is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear?” (Psa. 27:1).
What does the future hold? None of us knows. Might you face serious illness? That is possible. But if you do, you will have the light of life. Could your children face some great trial or trauma? That is possible. But if they do, they will have the light of life. Could our whole world descend into chaos? That is possible. But if it does, we will have the light of life.
If you are facing a time of great darkness, hear what Jesus says to you, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
Perhaps you are in a dark place right now. What can you do to move nearer to the Light? What should you avoid doing so that you do not move away from the Light?

Do You Need Hope This Easter Season?
Watch the powerful story of the thief on the cross today
The thief’s story of salvation is one that begins, literally, on the brink of hell. The pain this man had experienced throughout his life fueled his hate for God, so much so that he detested the man hanging there on the cross beside him. But then, for the first time, he began to fear God.
If you’ve found yourself in a similar place, there is hope. Hope because heaven is real, hope because we have a Savior, and hope because all you have to do is accept Jesus’ invitation.
