Ready to testify about the Light

John 1:8 He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light. We can be encouraged again by what was said about John the Baptist. Who he wasn’t is clear. He was not the Light or the source of the Light. This can also be said for us. We are lights in the world but not the source of the light. In a sense, we are like mirrors reflecting the light into the world, or like the moon, which has no light source of its own but reflects the sun’s light. But we are more than that. Like John, as we live to love with Jesus, we testify about the Light. We are Jesus’ disciples who experience intimacy with Him as we abide in Him. Our testimony is that apart from Him, we can do nothing. We are the branches, and He is the vine. That’s what we will learn later in this gospel in chapter 15. As we abide in Christ and walk with Him, others should be able to learn about who Jesus is, what He has done, what He is doing, and what He promises to do. I hope you’ll think about how you can testify about the Light today to those God puts in your path. One of the best ways to prepare for yours and His ministry today is to pray your version of the Live to Love prayer. I hope you’ll join me now and make this a habit in your life. Father in heaven, thank you for another day of life to know you and love you and to live to love with Jesus. Anoint and fill me with the Holy Spirit, the presence and power of Christ, so that I can love and trust you and love those you put in my path today, for your glory. Amen. I invite you to become a partner in our ministry. Would you pray about becoming a regular supporter of Elijah Ministries and the Live to Love with Jesus ministry? I hope you will receive the joy and benefit of “giving it forward,” so others may be encouraged to turn their hearts to God and live to love with Jesus.
