"The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armour of light."
Jesus calls us to be a light to the world by doing good so that people will give GOD the glory for what they are seeing. Then, in John 18:12 Jesus says that He is the Light of the world and that those who choose to follow Him will never walk in darkness. Why would Jesus say that we are to be the light of the world and then later say that He is the light of the world?
It's because He is giving us a portrait of worship - doing as He did in order to bring Glory to GOD! One of the most attractive characteristics of Jesus is that He never asks us to do or endure anything that He Himself has not already experienced.
Jesus wanted to show the Jews that worship wasn't about meeting at the temple, it's not about paying the right tax - it's about walking in worship. It's about embracing our redeemed identity in Christ in order to wear the armour of light.
Why then, do we find ourselves walking in darkness?
