Light for the Way

The light shines in the darkness

Rev. Dr. Miriam Okafor

John 1:1-14

0:00 / 32 min

John begins his gospel with light that no darkness can put out. What that promise means on an ordinary Monday.

The big idea

John does not start with a manger. He starts before time, with a Word that becomes flesh and a light that keeps shining. The darkness is real in John’s gospel, and it never wins.

For the week

Read John 1 slowly each morning. Notice one place where you need light, and one person you could carry it to.

Questions for groups

Where have you seen light in a dark season? What would it look like for our church to be a light left on for the neighborhood?

Keep
listening.
