Sometimes inspiration comes from the strangest places!
Being in acute pain, sleep can be really difficult. It was made worse last night by a single fly that kept landing on me and waking me up.
So tonight, I was showing one of the younger children how to catch it: make the house dark and turn one light on… the fly would head towards the light.
How amazing is it that we can learn from these disgusting creatures?!
Make out like a fly…and head towards the Light!
The Light, is Jesus!
The one who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.
He came into the very world he created, but the world didn’t recognize him. He came to his own people, and even they rejected him. But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God.
So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son. John 1:9-14 (NLT)
Jesus, the Light of the world… He stepped down into darkness, the very world He created, for you!
And there is only two options: you run towards it (to gain life), or you run away (and end up condemned):
“There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God’s one and only Son. And the judgment is based on this fact: God’s light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil. All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed. But those who do what is right come to the light so others can see that they are doing what God wants.” John 3:18-21 (NLT)
Jesus, the Light fo the World, exposes sin, has paid for sin and abolishes sin. He burns it – like the fly that lands on the burning hot bulk or the moth that reaches the candle…it is burnt to a crisp. Smoked.
It was planned before the beginning of time:
Jesus replied, “My light will shine for you just a little longer. Walk in the light while you can, so the darkness will not overtake you. Those who walk in the darkness cannot see where they are going. Put your trust in the light while there is still time; then you will become children of the light.” John 12:35-36 (NLT)
I encourage you: put your trust in the Light before it is too late!
