 With our theme for Green Oak Ranch being Glow In The Dark, the conversations had been about darkness and light! We started with the truth that " God is Light and in Him there is no darkness at all!" -1 John 1:15 And we moved into the reality that " Jesus is the Light of the World; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life." - John 8:12 And then You [ALL] are the light of the world: "Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven." - Matthew 5:14a, 16 Finally we talked about how we are to take the Light into the darkness! "A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine!" - Matthew 5:14-15
As followers of Jesus: - we HAVE the light
- and we ARE light
- and darkness will not overcome us! We can live bold and courageous lives in our dark world!
WE GLOW IN THE DARK! |
