Summary: I have a friend who recently moved into a new home. The first day, she got all unpacked. She organized her living room furniture, put away her dishes, and hung up her clothes. She was feeling pretty good, so she decided to go out for some dinner. While she was gone, the sun went down. She arrived home in the dark. When she walked in the front door, she realized something. She didn’t know where the light switch was. She searched all over for it in the dark. When she found it, she flipped it on, only to find it didn’t turn on the overhead light. In fact, there was no overhead light! After banging her knees on her furniture, she eventually got to the kitchen, where she found a light. Suddenly, she could see where everything was! She no longer was bumping into things to find her way. A little light is a good thing! We humans aren’t made to live in the dark. But with even the smallest light, everything becomes clear. Christ said to His followers, “You are the light of the world.” But if we are hiding, we are of no use at all. The world needs lights in the dark places. Otherwise, people will stumble their way around, never getting out of the darkness. In this dark world, we know that the truth that is Jesus sets us free. Let’s brighten the world with the light of Christ’s hope and love. This is Luis Palau.
