Friday
Read John 3:13-21
14 As Moses lifted up the bronze snake on a pole in the
desert, in the same way the Son of Man must be lifted up, 15so that everyone
who believes in him may have eternal life. 16For God loved the world so much
that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but
have eternal life. 17For God did not send his Son into the world to be its
judge, but to be its saviour.
18 Those who believe in the Son are not judged; but those who do not believe have already been judged, because they have not believed in God’s only Son. 19This is how the judgement works: the light has come into the world, but people love the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds are evil. 20All those who do evil things hate the light and will not come to the light, because they do not want their evil deeds to be shown up. 21But those who do what is true come to the light in order that the light may show that what they did was in obedience to God.

Think
Verses 19-21 really challenge us to look closely at Christ
and listen closely to his teachings - allowing him to shine a light in to
us. We can choose to hide in the shadows
- or come closer and let the light shine through our darkness.
Pray
Lord give me the boldness to step closer to the light of
your love.
