As we learn this week of the light of God, today we'll look to Jesus, who is the light.

What does this mean about the Lord? And what does this mean for us personally? May our eyes behold

him today as we search out the source of goodness, beauty, and holiness.

May our hearts grow in wonder, worship, and awe.

And may our lives be forever transformed at the sight of him.

Welcome to the First 15 podcast.

Thank you. Welcome to the First 15 podcast. Our scripture for today comes from Isaiah 60 verse 20. Scripture says,

Your son shall no more go down, nor your moon withdraw itself.

For the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your days of morning shall be ended.

To live in the light is to center our lives wholly around its only true source, Jesus. Jesus powerfully

declares in John 812, I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me

will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. As those committed to following

Jesus, we are constantly being led by him into the light. He is constantly

beckoning us away from the darkness of this world and calling us to a life centered around

him and his kingdom. In and of ourselves, we have no light. Left to our own devices, we would live our entire lives in darkness,

void of the abundance of joy and peace available to us in God.

But through Jesus, the light has come.

The Holy Spirit now dwells within us, the glory of God in the hearts has come. The Holy Spirit now dwells within us,

the glory of God in the hearts of men.

If we will simply surrender our lives to God

and the light he brings,

we will experience a life of freedom and joy
