The Light

"I am the light of the world"

John 8:12

Jesus said He is the light of the world. If you try and walk around in the dark there's a good chance you're going to trip over something, stub your toe, or get hurt or lost. It's much better when you can see isn't it? 

One thing that can happen in the dark is that someone can lie to you about something going on and you can't tell if that's the truth or not. They can make you afraid, or get  you to do something you shouldn't be doing just because you can't see. In the same way, people have lots of their own ideas about what's good and bad and the only way to know the truth is to listen to Jesus--the light of the world. 

Truth is important. If you don't know the truth about what 2 + 2 is, then you're going to have a hard time doing a lot of things. You will have a hard time at the store trying to buy things, or knowing how many bananas you need to pass out when your friends come over and its time for a snack! The way to know the truth is to have light, and Jesus wants to give you all the light you need--just ask Him for it!
