Walk in the Light

“...and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” John 8:32

“So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.” John 8:36

Jesus told His disciples: “If you continue in My word, then...you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free” (John 8:31-32). Christ knew His followers would face many temptations once He was gone. This is why He wanted them to focus on the truth of His Word, not the instability and spiritual darkness of the world around them.

As long as Christ was with them, the disciples followed with ease. Then came the night of His arrest, and Jesus was gone. However, instead of walking in the light of His truth, they allowed fear to capture their hearts. Many people struggle with emotional or physical bondage because they walk in the dim light of their own desires and resources, not the light of God’s Word.

Christ said: “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life” (John 8:12). The hope we have as believers is the fact that Christ is our Source of light.

You may be struggling with something that has held you captive for years. Now is the time to ask God to help you face it and deal with it by submitting it to His control. Then claim the victory that is yours through the power of His Spirit. No matter what you are facing, there is hope in the light of God’s truth.

“So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.” John 8:36
