You, brethren, are not in darkness..... You are all sons of light 1Thessalonians5:4-5

You, brethren, are not in darkness..... You are all sons of light 1Thessalonians5:4-5

The born again Christian sees life not as a blurred, confused, meaningless mass, but as something planned and purposeful. His eyes have been opened to spiritual truth.
In Christ's first sermon at Nazareth He said that one of the reasons he had come to earth was to preach "recovery of sight to the blind" (Luke4:18). By nature we are all spiritually blind because of sin. But the spirit of God helps us see our sin and helplessness and shows us God's redeeming Grace in Christ. The spirit reveals the truth of Jesus' declaration: "i am the light of the world. He who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life"(John 8:12)
In the Bible we are called Children of the Light and Children of the day" (1 Thess. 5:5), because it pleased God to share his mysteries and secrets with us. We ware no longer in the dark - we know where we came from, we know why we are here, and we know where we are going. In the midst of the world walking in spiritual darkness, walk as a child of the light!
