THE CHURCH OF NIGERIA (ANGLICAN COMMUNION)

DATE: SUNDAY, JANUARY 26, 2025

(Epiphany III)

TOPIC: WALK IN THE LIGHT

READ: 1 JOHN 1:1-7 (NKJV)

1:1. That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life —

1:2. the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us —

1:3. that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship [is] with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.

1:4. And these things we write to you that your joy may be full.

1:5. This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.

1:6. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.

1:7. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

THE MESSAGE:

Jesus Christ is the eternal God, and He became a real man whom John and His fellow apostles saw, heard, and touched. John’s words have the weight of an eyewitness. Our text today affirms that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. In John 8:12, Jesus declares Himself the Light of the world. This means that anyone still in darkness has not truly experienced Jesus – the Light. As darkness cannot exist with light so sinful things can have no partnership with God. God expects believers to shine forth His light in a dark world. That is why, in Matthew 5:14, we are reminded to let our light so shine before men, so that they may see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven.

When we walk in the light, we will maintain sweet fellowship with the Lord, though there may be many enticements to sin and darkness. It is very disheartening that many claim to be Christians, and even bear Christian names, yet exhibit the works of darkness. As believers, we need to shine forth the light of Christ everywhere – at home, in politics, in the marketplace, or in business.

PRAYER: Help me, Lord, to daily reflect Your light wherever I go from today, Amen
