There was a man sent from God whose name was John. 

He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe.

He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.

John 1:6-8 NIV

Sometimes I need this reminder.

Not just that Jesus is the Light of the World, but my job is no just to testify about the Light. 

To share what I know.

Being the Light, that's Jesus' job. 

And the more I know of Jesus the better (more accurate) my testimony will be. 

Jesus put it simply when he said it's all about 2 things:

Love God. Look up, see, discover, learn from, lean into, and follow God.

Live close to, in communion with the source of light.

Love people. Look out, see, walk with, learn from, have compassion for, and love people.

Bear witness to and reflect the Light. 

Doesn't seem too difficult! 

But we're not the Light, and don't have to carry that weight.

Rest in that today.
