The Coming of the Light of the World Part 9 of 10
“This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all … And since we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin” (I John 5,7).
Is this sounding a bit repetitive? I will say it again anyway. God is light and there is no darkness in Him. So we, having been found in Him, have no darkness in us. We are children of Light. And two of the things that happened to us when we were transferred from darkness to light are …
First, we have fellowship with each other. We are now part of a community of Light. We are now in a family of Light. We are now a kingdom of Light. And the other? We have been washed clean from our sin.
“For you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness” (I Thessalonians 5:5). You are not just a son of Light. You are “all sons (plural) of Light.” You are part of a community. You are in the body of Christ. You have a home among the beloved. Welcome home. We are happy you are here!
We have become a community of Light because Jesus is the Light of the world!
