When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12 NIV
I travelled to Jacksonville today to visit my daughter and attend a friend's wedding. I used the TomTom as I knew I'd need help getting around. Lola, as we affectionately call the little booger, had a mind of her own. Armed with the power to lead helpless motorists wherever her little heart desires, she misdirected me. She kept saying keep left to take thr interstate. But unbeknownst to her and me, the interstate was no longer to the left. Thanks to non existent riad signs, I took the wrong exit. Lucky for her, she redirected me right back to the interstate.
We have become reliant on technology to guide us, so much so that we sometimes miss the road signs even if they are there. Technology is great but it is an imperfect thing made by imperfect, albeit smart, humans.
But Jesus is perfect, infallible and offers us direction that will never misdirect us. It will even get us safely back to the right path should we choose to disobey the directions. He is the one true light. As God led the Israelites in the desert, so he will lead us. A pillar of fire by night and cloud by day, but always visible, always leading us on. All we have to do is follow.
Follow the one true light.
