You Are Light in the Darkness
Read Ephesians 5:7-10
Today’s Truth
Remember the song “This Little Light of Mine”? Although simple, the song’s lyrics are packed with truth. When we find life in Christ, we are raised out of the darkness of our sinful state and become a light in an otherwise dark world.
Paul explains how this works in Ephesians 5:7-10, writing, “at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.”
Discussion Questions
- How has your life changed as a result of God’s love?
- What is one thing you can do this week to show Jesus’ love to someone else?
Application
Think of it like leaving a dimly lit office on a bright, sunny day. When you step outside, your eyes take a minute to adjust to the brightness. That’s how radically Jesus’ love changes our view. As we grow in relationship with God, our eyes adjust and it’s hard to remember what life in the dark was like.
As you go about your day today, remember that you have received Christ’s love. Ever notice how someone in love has a glow about them? The glow that comes with remembering you’re Jesus’ beloved will be a light to everyone you meet.
