February 8, 2021 Trust the Light – John 12：25-33，35-36

Years ago I worked in a nuclear power plant in Douglas Point in Bruce County. This location was famous for the blizzard and snow in winter, also there was whiteout condition when it was in the high wind occasion. The company told us the commuter workers when in whiteout condition, we should stop our cars on the shoulder and left the lights on until the visibility was clear and moved on. Therefore the headlights were very important to indicate cars in the opposite direction on the other lane. So that they wouldn’t hit cars on our side in case their cars were out of control on icy roads. These were safety precautions for our own good.

It was going to get dark and be almost impossible to see. Almost. So what did Jesus tell them to do? Believe, or trust, the Light. “Believe in the light while you have the light, so that you may become children of light.” When he had finished speaking, Jesus left and hid himself from them.” (John 12:36)

“Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.” (John 12:26) And Jesus would challenge His followers to stay faithful and serve. That was the only way they could keep going forward and stay faithful.

Jesus would only be with them a little while longer. But believers have His Spirit as our constant guide to light the way. We too will face dark times when it’s almost impossible to see the way ahead. Almost. But by believing, or trusting in the Light, we can press on.
