The Life And Light Of God – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional February 1st

(Carrying the Essence of Eternal Life)

TO THE BIBLE: John 1:4-5
“In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not”

LET’S TALK
Think about your heart for a moment. Doctors can show you where it is, how it pumps blood, and even measure its beats per minute.

But here’s the thing: the heart, though vital, isn’t the true source of life; it’s just a vessel through which life flows.

Scientists can replace a failing heart with a new one, but they still can’t explain the real force that makes life happen.

The reality of Christ in you is a profound truth that science struggles to define. Scientists can’t locate the essence of life within the human body. They can pinpoint the heart, the brain, and other organs, but the life-force itself remains elusive.

Life—the very thing that animates every living being—is undetectable. Now consider this: the life that scientists can’t find, the essence they can’t locate, the phenomenon they’re unable to explain, became flesh: “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us…” (John 1:14).

Jesus Christ is eternal life encapsulated in human flesh; this is the greatest miracle to ever occur.

Who is Christ? He’s the divine essence, eternal life personified; the embodiment of life itself. He said, “…I am the way, the truth, and the life…” (John 14:6).

When you have Christ, you have life, the very essence that sustains all creation. Light is another phenomenon that challenges human understanding.

It is difficult to describe light without referencing a greater light. In the presence of a stronger light, a lesser light fades into paltriness.

For example, a candle light in the bright noon sun has no visible effect. Jesus said, “…I am the light of the world…” (John 8:12).

This is the light that lights every man who comes into the world (John 1:9). When He declared Himself as the light of the world, He wasn’t referring to a physical light but to a spiritual illumination that transcends all understanding. He is the source of all light, the essence that gives meaning and purpose to life.

To have Christ in you, therefore, means that the very life and light of God dwells in you. It means you carry within you the hope of glory, the power that sustains the universe, and the wisdom that confounds the world.

Pray:
Dear Father, thank you for the supernatural life you’ve given me in Christ. I’m grateful for your life and light in my spirit. I stand firm in the truth of who I am in Christ; I walk in the consciousness of this truth, illuminating my world and bringing glory to you, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
