Light, life, action!

Mark Rathel’s comments on “Celebrating Easter’s Significance” emphasize the “new beginning”, the clue of left behind clothing, and the “light of men”, or the moral illumination Jesus is to the lives of believers. How has Jesus shed light on darkness in your life?

Consider demonstrating how a cheap flashlight cuts on and off (even though it has fresh batteries in it) to illustrate how undependable man's efforts are at stimulating good moral behavior compared to the perfection found in Jesus Christ.

To get a flashlight on, we bang it, wiggle it, or shake it. To keep it on, we handle it carefully so as not to jar it. But the light of Jesus is totally dependable. His light never fails, and in Him we never walk in darkness (John 8:12).
