Our Verse: John 8:12 Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow Me, you won't have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.'

A powerful statement by Jesus Christ- He says He is the Light. Following Him gives us light to live the best kind of life.

Imagine a blind person, one who has never seen anything. Ask him, “What's it like to be blind?” He can't tell you. Having never seen, he has no contrast to his darkness. This is the way of humans who have not experienced the light of Christ.

Here's a definition: Unbelief is a state of mind and heart where God is refused and spiritual blindness results.

The person who has yet to experience this light of Jesus walks in darkness and uncertainty. The Psalms calls this “slippery places”. That means dangerous places. Walking through life in the dark, putting your confidence in yourself and on things can lead you and others to disaster.

An unbelieving person chooses to refuse. “I don't believe in God.”

This can happen in spite of conspicuous God evidence all around.

Thankfully unbelief doesn't have to win. Jesus opens eyes, just like those 2 blind men. He opens them every day and around the world.

Us blind guys who get to “see” Jesus are thrilled. As we look back, we “see” that He was there all the time, leading, protecting and even speaking to us.

Unbelief is spiritual blindness. Jesus heals that blindness. Our part is to humbly ask.
He will do the rest!
