The Truth Is Light
The Truth of God is His Light sent forth to dispel the darkness of satan’s lies.
Psalm 119:105,130
Your Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.
The entrance of Your Word gives light; it gives understanding, discernment and comprehension to the simple. Here we see that God’s Word is a light. It gives understanding to all.
Yesterday we learned that Jesus is the Word and that He is the Truth. Today we see His Word gives light.
He also said that He is the Light of the world and that he who follows Jesus shall not walk in darkness but have the light of life (John 8:12). In John 1:9 John refers to Jesus as the true Light which lights every man that comes into the world. Isaiah prophesied in 42:5-7 of Jesus coming as the Light for not only the Jews but also the Gentiles. He said that He would come as a Light to open the eyes of the blind, to bring the prisoners from the prison, and bring those who sit in darkness out of their prison.
In Isaiah 9:2 and Matthew 4:16 we read that the people who walked in darkness have seen a great Light; those who dwell in the land of darkness and the shadow of death, upon them has the Light shined. Luke tells us in 1:78,79 that because of God’s great mercy and loving-kindness a Light from on high will dawn upon us and visit us to shine upon and give light to those who sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death, to direct and guide our feet in a straight line into the way of peace.
1 John 1:5: …God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.
Follow me carefully; we are going somewhere with this. So, we have definitely established from God’s Word that God is Light and in Him is no darkness at all. Yesterday we established that God’s Word is Truth, that Jesus is called the Word, and that Jesus is the Truth.
Now, let’s take it a step further. Are you ready for this? Jesus said in Matthew 5:14-16 that you are the light of the world and that you are to let that light shine for all to see your good works and glorify your Father Who is in Heaven. In 1 Thessalonians 5:5 we read that we are the children of light, and the children of the day; we are not of the night, nor of darkness. In Ephesians 5:8 we are instructed to walk as children of light. Once we were darkness but now we are light in the Lord.
How do we let the Light of God shine? What does that mean? I submit to you that it is a simple instruction and way of life. As we give voice to God’s Word, His Word which is Truth, goes forth as a Light from the children of Light (God Himself, Jesus the Word, the Truth and the Way) to dispel the darkness of anything contrary to THE TRUTH. Where there is light, there cannot be darkness. It is not possible. Light a candle and the room is no longer dark. Send forth the Word of God Who is Light and Truth and the place where it is sent is no longer dark. This is fact. Wow!
Send the Light of God’s Word of Truth into the darkness of sickness and disease, poverty, lack, want, discouragement, disappointment, doubt, unbelief, failure, defeat, etc. and let God’s Word of Light do His work of bringing the light of health, prosperity, well-being, wholeness, faith, success, encouragement, etc. into your life.
