WALK IN THE LIGHT OF THE LORD

“O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord” (Isaiah 2:5).

The Bible is filled with several invitations from the Lord to men. Jesus once invited all those who labour and are heavy laden to come and receive rest (Matthew 11:28). Today, the invitation is for God’s people to walk in the light of the Lord.

It is important to properly define the light we are talking about. There is the light of this world (John 11:9). But the light being introduced to us today is what the Bible calls “the light of the Lord”. We shall look at two dimensions of this light.

First, we must understand that Christ is the light. He said, “I am the light of the world” (John 9:5). Thus, today’s scripture is an invitation to walk in Jesus Christ. We do this by thinking as He would think, saying what He would say and doing what He would do. For this reason, the scripture enjoins us to let the same mind that was in Christ Jesus reside and function in us that we might live as He lived (Philippians 2:5).

Secondly, God’s word is also the light of the Lord. The Psalmist calls it a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path (Psalms 119:105). Whether presented as laws or commandments, they provide illumination for the way of life (Proverbs 6:23). When we walk with the Lord in the light of His word, it causes us to shine in the midst of life’s darkness (2 Peter 1:19).

As you walk in the light of the Lord, may we never stumble in Jesus name.
