Matthew 16:24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.”
Following Jesus is a day by day one step at a time proses. In a dark world Jesus is our light, “Light” is a frequent metaphor for Jesus in the Gospel. Light, illuminates and keeps us from a life of sin, and gives us purpose and meaning in this life. As disciples of Jesus Christ we no longer walk in darkness.
Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path
Matthew 5:14 You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.
Lord, by light in a dark world.
