Hey Advent Family,

We continue our weekly devotional that on this Sunday’s sermon, on how Jesus’ new teaching is darkness exposing in our lives.  Let’s get right into it! 

Exposing Darkness

Scripture: “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” -John 1:5

When Jesus’ light enters, darkness cannot remain hidden. Just as the man with the unclean spirit was exposed in the synagogue, our hidden struggles and sins are brought to light when we encounter Jesus. His light is not to shame but to help us recognize, heal and restore. Imagine walking into a dusty attic with a flashlight. The light reveals what’s been hidden for years. Similarly, Jesus illuminates the hidden corners of our hearts so we can address them with His help.

  • Pray for Jesus to reveal areas of your life that need His cleansing light.
  • If you don’t journal, begin journaling about anything you’ve kept hidden and ask Him for healing.

Let pray together today, Jesus, shine Your light into the dark places of my heart. Help me to trust You with my struggles and accept Your grace to bring healing and wholeness. In your name we pray, Amen.

As always Jesus loves you and so do I

Pastor Will
