CHILDREN OF LIGHT
In Jesus’ day
He often talked about being
“CHILDREN OF LIGHT”
Mistakenly-the people of his day
Thought he meant being
“spiritual” was good
And being “earthly” was bad
What Jesus was in fact
Trying to teach us
Was to CHOOSE good instead of evil
So how can we be CHILDREN OF
LIGHT
In today’s world
Give someone who can’t get out
A ride to the Doctor’s office
Or to the store to get groceries
Volunteer at a hospital or a rescue mission
Send someone a birthday or a get-well
card
Do something good for someone-ANONYMOUSLY
There are any number of things
That we can do in today’s world
Or we can choose to live
selfish-self-absorbed lives
Concerned ONLY with ourselves-our own material goals
Our own sexuality-or our own needs
Choose to be a “child of light”
in today’ world

Ps “For you
were once darkness
But now
you are LIGHT in the world
Live as
CHILDREN OF LIGHT
( For the
fruit of the light
Consists in all
goodness-righteousness-and truth )”
Ephesians 5:8-9
“But if we WALK IN THE LIGHT
As he is in the LIGHT
We have
fellowship with one another
And the blood of Jesus-his Son
Purifies us from all sin” 1
John 1:7
“For you have delivered me from
death
And my
feet from stumbling
That I
may walk before God
In the
LIGHT OF LIFE” Psalm
56:13
