Living in the Light


It’s hard to imagine, but living outside the love and grace of Jesus Christ is like living in total darkness.  Biblically, sin is often described by the metaphor of darkness.  We all know what it is like to stumble around in darkness.  Have you ever tried to go down an unfamiliar flight of stairs in the darkness?  It can be downright hazardous to your health.

Living in spiritual darkness is also very dangerous.  Sin eats away at our soul and hardens our hearts to the voice of the Spirit calling us to repentance.

The good news is that Jesus invites us to live in his light.  Jesus invites us to expose the darkness in our lives and eradicate it forever through his grace and forgiveness. Living in the light of Jesus instead of languishing in the darkness of our sin is the wise choice.

This week we are going to explore what it means to live in the light as we look at Ephesians 5:8-20
