August 10 “Be the ‘Night Light’ for Others John 8:12
HAPPY 88th BIRTHDAY (In Heaven) to my Dear Mother… Miss You Every Day!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “I am the light of the world: he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life.” (John 8:12)
Like many other children, our Kayla insisted on having a “night light” shining brightly, in her bedroom. We would tuck her into bed, making sure that “Gray Bear” was by her side, and we would pray our prayers, and off to sleep she would go! When Kayla was older, I asked her why she wanted the night light, and her response was “preach-able!” “Daddy, I can’t see in the dark!” Wow! Reflecting on this experience, I realized that all of us need “night lights!” Without Jesus Christ, we are walking in the darkness of this evil world, and we cannot see what is before us! Jesus loved us enough to suffer and die for our sins and to bring “Light” into our “Darkness!” What a promise! He said, “I am the light of the world: he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life.” Let us be God’s Light, shining brightly into the abyss of darkness of this Evil and Sinful world! “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven (Matthew 5:16).” Everyone needs the Light of Jesus to chase away the Darkness! Embrace the Light! Share the Light! BE THE LIGHT OF JESUS IN THIS EVIL AND DARK WORLD!!! Stay Strong, Stay Focused… THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
