"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...
