John 1:6-9 Click on this link to read the passage. You may select your preferred version of the Bible after the link opens.
John, one of Jesus’ Twelve Disciples, wrote this passage about John the Baptist. It identifies who sent him (God), gives his name and his God-given purpose in life: to bear witness to the light that was to come – Jesus Christ.
John is very emphatic with the use of the word light using it several times in this short passage. Jesus is our Light in every sense of the word. He gives light to our souls. He sheds light into our confusion so we can make the right choices (if we will take the time to seek His direction.) He makes our burdens lighter, using the word in a different sense.
Father God, increase our desire to dwell in Jesus’ light. Help us to give more time to basking in his light.
