April 5, 2025 SONS OF LIGHT
1 Thessalonians 5:4-6 “But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief; for you all are sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness; so then let us not sleep as others do, but let us be alert and sober.”
Matthew 5:14 “You are the light of the world-like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.”
The word of God is explicit in it’s foretelling of things to come. We live in a fallen world that is in darkness; everywhere there is brokenness, strife, wars, divisions, discontentment, pride, fear, lawlessness-and the list goes on. Also, there are events coming that will shock the world; Jesus is coming back and the events surrounding His return will turn everything upside down-it defies our imagination. In light of the current state of the world and in light of the events coming to this world, what sort of people are we to be is the question. Here is the good news for those who know Jesus as Savior. We have been transferred to the kingdom of light-the kingdom of God. Jesus did not say that we ‘should’ be light, He says we ‘are’ light. Other scriptures tell us not to hide our light, but to let it shine that others may glorify our Father in heaven. Matthew 5:15-16. God does not leave us in the dark concerning current events nor the events yet to take place. For those who do not know Jesus, His return will be total devastation for them; because they are in the darkness, His returning will overtake them like a thief-suddenly and unexpected; and it will be to late for them to turn to Christ. Back to us; let us walk in the light day by day; let us be about living as those who belong to Jesus. Let us lay aside any thoughts, motives, desires, and actions that are not pleasing to the Lord. Let us be ‘sober and alert.’ It is an amazing opportunity for us to let our light shine in a world that is in total darkness; many are searching for the ‘light;’ many are desperate and without hope. It’s like someone in a totally dark house trying to find a particular item-what they need is light-even the light of a match. We do not need to fear the present or the things yet to come, because our Father is ruling and reigning, and He has no competition and His rule is absolute.
John 9:5 “Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
Ephesians 5:8 “For at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.”
