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’s 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
