This is the message that we have heard from him and announce to you: "God is light 

and there is no darkness in him at all."

1 John 1:5 CEB

God is Light.

The word John uses is "phos" which means light, firelight, luminous. Imagine being in the desert at night and the only light is the fire, it gives light, life, a future, even though surrounded by darkness. If we saw firelight in the distance we would be drawn to it.

In God there is no "skotia" no dimness, no darkness. It's like light and darkness cannot coexist in God.

"God is light 

and there is no darkness in him at all."

John says this as an announcement, it's important, he wants us to "get" something important here... what does this truth about our God say to you today?

"God is light 

and there is no darkness in him at all."

What part of us, our culture, church, community, life, needs to be reminded of this today?

"God is light 

and there is no darkness in him at all."

What part of me needs to hold this today?

"God is light 

and there is no darkness in him at all."

What part of me needs the firelight, to sit near the fire?
