WALKING IN THE LIGHT OF LIFE

 
ONE of the most illuminating sentences that God ever gave is in John 8:12: "I am the light of the world: he that follows me shall not walk in the darkness but will have the light of life." This is one of Jesus' many 
affirmations of what He was.
 
You will remember that He dared to say….
 
"I am the good shepherd."
"I am the Bread of Life."
"I am the way."
"I am the door.”
"I am the Life." And now He said:
"I am the light of the world."
 
You remember that 1 John 1:5 says:
"God is light and in Him is no darkness at all."
 
God was light. God is the Source of light.
 
Now Jesus declares that He is the Light of Life. Then we understand this beautiful fact: that this 
God is light and light is Love.
 
If one walks in this Life, he walks in Love; and he walks in the Light and the wisdom of the Word.
 
Walking in the light means walking in the Word, acting on the Word.
 
Walking in the Light of Life means walking in Love. This Life is an inner light of the spirit. It is the Life of God, and our spirits are radiating love. 

Jesus said : "I am the way, the truth, and the life." The three are all in Jesus.
 
Jesus was reality or truth.
Jesus was the Way into the Father's presence.
Jesus is reality in every phase of this Divine Life.
 
The Word living in us is God living in us.
 Living means "doing", "acting."
