If we get Jesus wrong, we get our lives wrong, and we will live wrong. John writes to remind us that Jesus is not partly God or just a great teacher. He is fully God and fully man. He has always been and always will be, and what we do with Jesus is the most important thing for us to get right in life. Jesus is not a light. He is the Light. There is a difference between saying we know Him and actually walking with Him. If we say we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in darkness, we are not living in the truth. But when we walk in the Light, we have fellowship with God and with one another, and the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin. The Christian life is not about perfectionism but a consistent pattern of pursuing holiness. Sin is a big deal, but confession is the bridge from darkness to light. When we confess, God is faithful and just to forgive and cleanse us. Will you believe, and will you walk in the Light?
