The Light Of Christ

I remember paddling

I remember paddling. I would paddle one stroke and then turn my light on. I was looking for those two yellow eyes to appear. Thank the good Lord, this big gator was out hunting or something, so I made it through. I made it through because I had the light. I was always shining the light. Stroke. Light. Stroke. Light.

I want to ask you a direct question. How can you negotiate the tunnels of life without the light of Christ? It is impossible. You might do it okay. You could paddle a few strokes. But you wont really know where you are going. The amazing thing about God is that he allows life to be an adventure for us. He doesnt just light up the whole tunnel, just the next strokes. Light is penetrating and guiding.

It is also powerful. Jesus said, Let your light shine, let it touch and mark others. I meet a lot of people. And some of the people I meet seem to have it all. Then as I get to know them, I see that the light is not really on. They are searching for that light. They think the next relationship will do it. They think the next acquisition will do it. They think the next fun fix will do it. They think the next toy or trinket will do it. And the light is still not on. It is not there. They need to move the cross from the outside to the inside. They need the light of Jesus in their lives. Now if you have the light of Christ, are you sharing it in your marriage? Are you sharing it with your children? Are you sharing it with others? Look at the tree. Look at the lights. I have got to ask you one more time, what do you do with the tree?

The next object is a star. That is a good-looking star. Stars have points on them. And usually the star is on the top of the tree. The Bible says in Matthew 2 that the wise men were looking up in the heavens one day and they saw a star. The Bible says that the star was pointing them to Jesus. Now a lot of people saw the star, but only the wise men followed the star. They kept going and finally it pointed them to where Christ was. Sexperiment stated that after the wise men worshipped Christ, they returned another way. True worship always includes a turning the other way. And that is the prayer that we have been praying for these services. It is that all of us, myself included, would leave here another way.

Now look back at the star just for a second.
