The life of darkness is one where we are completely separated from God, when we are alive and when we are dead. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life.” (1) “Whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.” (2) All we have to do is believe and confess and we will be saved. “That the light came into the world, but people preferred darkness to light.” (3) Nobody wanted to be saved, they were scared of the light. In Matthew 19:16-22, the rich man asks Jesus what he needs to do to have eternal life. “Teacher, what good must I d

When Jesus asks to stay at his house, people say Jesus is staying at the house of a sinner. But Zacchaeus said he would repay everything four times over and give half his possessions to the poor. “So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree in order to see Jesus, who was about to pass that way. Jesus looked up and said to him, Zacchaeus, come down quickly, for today I must stay at your house. And he came down quickly and received him with joy. When they all saw this, they began to grumble, saying, He has gone to stay at the house of a sinner.” Jesus said, “Today salvation has come to this house because this man too is a descendant of Abraham. For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save what was lost.” (4) Zacchaeus didn’t want to live in the darkness anymore, he wanted to follow the light, follow Jesus. Sometimes that’s what it takes to give up some of our possessions, but God says he will provide as long as we trust in him.

The life of light is one where we are at God’s side, alive and dead. This is the life many are scared to choose. They don’t want to come out of the darkness. But those who do, have eternal life with God and all the reward’s of heaven. Take the story of Zacchaeus, a tax collector that stole from the people. “Now a man there named Zacchaeus, who was a chief tax collector and also a wealthy man, was seeking to see who Jesus was; but he could not see him because of the crowd, for he was short in stature.”
