True life is found in Jesus

"In Him was life, 
and the life was the light of men. 
And the light shines in the darkness, 
and the darkness did not comprehend it."
(John 1:4 - 5)

"Jesus said to him,
I am 
the way, 
the truth, 
and the life. 
No one comes to the Father 
except through Me."
(John 14:6)

"In Him was life,"
In Jesus is where we FIND life

But not only that
This life is also LIGHT
"and the life was the light of men"

"men" being MANKIND

We find LIFE in Jesus
And it (life) is like a LIGHT
Which shines in the darkness

Primarily banishing any darkness
In us who believe

Allowing us to "see" clearly
To KNOW the truth...

To see ourselves
For WHO we now are IN Him
IN Jesus...

But NOT everyone who 
Comes into contact with the light
Wants to embrace the light...

There are many 
Who would rather run and hide
Into the darkness
In an attempt to get away from the light

"And the light shines in the darkness, 
and the darkness did not comprehend it."
(John 1:5)

As believers we now HAVE this light in us
And we SHINE in the darkness
As He shines in, through and out of us

Which explains, in part
Why sometimes people
Do NOT welcome us...

It is NOT that they don't like us
But rather they want to hide
From the light that is in us

So be not afraid
But rather draw closer 
To the light and the life
That is within you...

Draw closer to JESUS...
