Light Bearers

John 1:8 " He was not the light, but was sent to bear witness of that light".

The word of God tells us we were chosen that we might bear fruit and fruit that will last. But how do we bear real fruit. We must bear witness to the truth of God's word. We must bear witness that there is a light which shines in a dark world. We must allow the light to so shine in our life that the world will come to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the son of the living God.

A true witness as we see in scripture is sent by God. All who profess Christ should be sent by God, to bear witness to the light. We are not the light, but we are to bear witness that there is a light. We accomplish this by living a life that shows the power of the light, that all men through our life might come to believe. We give off the light ,but we are not the light, the light is not of us, but it shines in us that we might be the light that sits upon a hill, that all in darkness might see Jesus the light of the world.

We do live in a seeing is believing world, we have been called to walk worthy of the name which we bear that all in darkness might come to believe in the only true light. Jesus the light of the world.
