Let’s Go Find Some Darkness

Pastor Mark Cowart, Senior Pastor at Church For All Nations in Colorado Springs, Colorado, shared the following story:

“There was a little boy who was enamored with flashlights. He had a few in his collection, but saw one in a store that he just had to get. He begged his mother to buy it for him which she did. Shining it around on the way home during a bright, sunny morning, he boldly told his mother, ‘Let’s go find some darkness'”!

Darkness never wins over the light. The tiniest candle can be seen across a darkened football stadium.

The light of Christ is dazzling, blazing, blinding, radiant, brilliant! What a great reminder about the light we reflect through our life when Jesus is there.

Here are two verses that speak about this soul-penetrating light:

1. The people who walk in darkness will see a great light; those who live in a dark land, the light will shine on them. (Isa. 9:6)
2. Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “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)

A new way to see yourself would be as a “light bearer.” A candlelit evening is beautiful as is watching a searchlight brighten the skies. Jesus, the Light of the world, will give you wisdom to know what kind of light to be at each occasion.

And like the little boy in the story, let’s go find some darkness to shine the light of Jesus!
