“When Jesus spoke again to the people, He said, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’”
— John 8:12 (NIV)
💡 Reflection
Diwali is celebrated as the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and truth over falsehood. As followers of Christ, we find this theme fulfilled perfectly in Jesus, who didn’t just bring light — He is the Light.
Darkness represents confusion, fear, sin, and separation from God. The world often tries to overcome this darkness with temporary lights — success, comfort, or relationships. But these fade.
Jesus, however, offers a light that never goes out — a light that leads us to eternal life and gives clarity, peace, and purpose.
When we invite Jesus into our hearts, His light shines through our words, our actions, and our love. We become lamps in His hands, reflecting His brilliance in a dark world.
So, as diyas (lamps) and candles glow around you today, pause and thank God for the true Light — the One who dispels every shadow within and around us.
🙏 Prayer
Lord Jesus,
On this day when so many lights shine across our cities and homes,
Help me remember that You are the true Light of the world.
Chase away the darkness in my heart — fear, doubt, pride, and sin.
Let Your light shine through me so that others may see Your love and truth.
May my life reflect Your glory today and always.
Amen.
