Read<\/span><\/h2>\n
Isaiah 60:1-2<\/cite> \u201cArise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you.\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Learn<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

As we go through life, there will be moments of darkness, such as sickness and pain. However, Isaiah 60 tells us that even in darkness, we have God\u2019s light, which is Jesus Himself. The light of Jesus can shine through every darkness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why we need Jesus<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Jesus brings understanding during confusing times. Jesus has the power to heal wounded hearts. Jesus can repair broken situations and relationships. Jesus gives hope when there is none. He is the best help for anyone going through dark times.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How we can bring Jesus to others<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

When we become more and more like Jesus, the people around us will see Jesus in us. Here are a few things we can do to grow to become more like Jesus:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Spend time learning about Him and listening to His Word<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Humble ourselves<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Live according to His instructions<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Pray to Him continuously because when we pray, God works through us\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Even the darkest of times can become an opportunity for us to reveal Jesus.<\/span><\/p>\n

    We can reach out to those who are lonely, lost or have little when we allow God\u2019s light to shine through us!<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
