The Light that Penetrates the Darkness

The world is full of darkness. In the world their is all kinds of trouble. There are people who kill people. There are those how steal and cheat. There is a lack of love therefore many are looking out for number one, themselves. There are all kinds of fighting and jealousy over money and power. The root of all this evil is sinfulness of man. Truly the world is full of darkness.

Take a moment here and read Isaiah 9:1-7. In this passage it talks of a great darkness over the land of Israel, but Isaiah prophesies that a great light will appear. He says this light will bring blessing and joy. The Light will deliver people from slavery and usher in peace. This light is a person, this person is Jesus Christ.

Haiti is in great darkness and trouble, but their is a light breaking forth upon Haiti and that Light is Jesus the Christ. He is the hope of Haiti. He is the only one who can deliver this nation from corruption and all forms of evil. He is the only who bring light into the heart of men which will bring joy and peace. He is the only one who can bring healing and deliverance to this land. We must not look to any government or agency, but to the Christ.
Jesus declares that He is the Light in John 8:12 - "When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
When Christ was in the world he was the light of the world, but now that Christ has left this world, we (his people) are the light of the world. We have the Light in us. Matt. 5:14 - "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."
Do people see the Light in you? Do people know that you are a child of God? Are you a godly example to others?
Haiti is in crisis. There is darkness every where. This is not the time to concern ourselves with our own problems to the extent that we ignore the hurting around us. This is not the time to be slack in God's work. This is the time to rise up to the occasion and stand up for Christ and become a light in the darkness. We need to reflect Christ even more during these last days. I believe a spiritual revival is breaking forth upon Haiti.
A Christian who is a light will penetrate the darkness and bring change. We can bring change as walk in truth and justice. We can bring change when we do not act as others who are doing wrong. We can bring change when we declare the Good News of Christ. We can bring change when we show love and help those who are needier then ourselves. We can bring change when seek others interest and not ours only.
The Bible says in the last days the darkness will be come darker while the light will become brighter. Christians let us shine brightly that we might expel the darkness in the land and bring salvation and prosperity to all.
