Christ is the Light of the Word

“I am the light of the world, says the Lord; whoever follows me will have the light of life.” (John 8: 12)

Christ’s word is light for me. In 1 Corinthians 2: 1-5, Jesus gives me light on the principles of effective ministry:

• Simplicity
• Concentration on Christ Crucified
• Allow the Holy Spirit to lead and guide

“Whoever follows me will have the light of life.” To follow Jesus, means to follow his word as in 1 Corinthians 2:1-5. It means to dwell in his word and make it the basis of one’s thought, word and deed.
