The two worlds
Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”
John 8:12
The verse we read today gives us a clue to the two different worlds that surround us. One is the world of light and other is the world of darkness. The world of light is all that belongs to LORD Jesus Christ. In the world of light there is abundance of all the good things that we can enjoy. There is abundance of love, joy, peace, happiness, gladness, healing, goodness, calmness. There is clarity and direction. There is unity and oneness and much more such blessings. And these blessings are all for us to enjoy. These blessings exist in the world of light is because our LORD Jesus Himself is that world of light and it is all His nature which is shared with us.
On the other hand, in the world of darkness, it is entirely the opposite, it is filled with pain, suffering, sorrow, lack, defeat, sickness, confusion, jealousy, pride, anger, disappointment and you can keep on adding more to such things. Our LORD Jesus Christ does not exist in the world of darkness and hence we see such bad things exist.
We tend to inherit the blessings when we follow the world of light which is our LORD Jesus Christ, It is also true when we follow the world of darkness, that we inherit the curse when we follow it.
That is why Jesus said that He who follows Him shall not walk in darkness, that shall not inherit the things that exist in the world of darkness but instead inherit the light of life.
So which world do you follow? If you have accepted Jesus as LORD and Savior then you follow Him and the world of light, which means you have access to all the blessings which exist in this world. You can have peace, joy, happiness, healing, clarity, oneness, direction, restoration, salvation. These belongs to you. So, receive it in faith and when you do so, it is yours.
