NOT THE LIGHT

Today's reading: John 1-2

"John himself was not the light; he was only a witness to the light." John 1:8 NLT

I'm here this morning to remove a whole lot of pressure off you as a believer.

To take a load off your heart, head and shoulders.

To clear up a very common misconception.

You are the not the light the world needs to see.

Nope. Not at all.

It's not up to you to shine convicting power on every unsaved soul you come in contact with.

It's not up to you to 'draw all men' unto you for teaching and correcting.

It's not up to you to shine with a brilliance that comes from hours-a-day Bible study.

It's up to you to tell about the Light you know, have been saved by and are walking in.

Aah, what a relief!

They, the world in general, do not need to see us. They need to see God shining through us.

We aren't the Light, we are mirrors reflecting the Light to the world!
