Growing up we spent a lot of time playing in our finished basement. When Mom called us to come up for dinner we would run up the stairs, eager to NOT be the last one downstairs. Nobody wanted to be the rotten egg. Orrrrrr, in the case of my brother, he needed to be the FIRST one up the stairs! You see, if he was the first one up the stairs, he would quickly turn off the basement lights – leaving the rest of us in the pitch black dark! My, how quickly an imagination can take over!
As we contemplate Easter and the power of the light of Jesus and His resurrection over our dark, sin-filled lives, I’m taken back to our basement. Being stuck in the dark is scary. It’s lonely…even with my siblings nearby. Coming upstairs and finding light lightens my heart. It refreshes my heavy burdens. The light helps me see everything more clearly.
May your heart know the Light of Jesus this Easter and always!
“I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in Me should stay in darkness.” John 12:46
