The Word Became Flesh: An Advent Devotional

 Day 14: Walking in the Light

By Dr. Dimas Castillo

Scripture Reading: John 8:12; 1 John 1:5-7; Ephesians 5:8-14

I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life.”

Reflection

You have been brought from darkness into light. You have been born again. You are a child of God. The Light has shone on you, and He continues to shine. Now comes the daily choice: will you walk in that light?

Walking in the light means living in honesty before God, refusing to hide sin in the shadows. It means following Jesus wherever He leads, trusting that His path is better than any we could choose in darkness. It means reflecting His light to others, becoming small lights that point to the great Light.

The darkness has not overcome the Light, and it will not overcome you either. No shadow in your past is too dark. No habit is too entrenched. No sin is too great. The Light dwells in you, and He is faithful to complete the work He began.

Consider

- What does it practically mean for you to “walk in the light” today?

- Are there areas where you’re still trying to hide in darkness rather than bringing them into the light?

- How can you reflect Christ’s light to someone in your life who is still walking in darkness?

Application

Make this your daily prayer this week: “Lord, search me and know me. Shine Your light in every corner of my heart. Show me where I’m hiding in darkness and give me courage to walk in Your light.” Choose one specific way you will reflect Christ’s light to someone else this week—a word of encouragement, an act of service, or sharing your testimony of how the Light broke into your darkness. 

Prayer

Jesus, Light of the world, thank You for shining into my darkness. Help me to walk in Your light each day. Expose any shadows where I’m still hiding from You. Make me a reflection of Your light to others who desperately need to see You. I am Yours—guide me, transform me, use me. For Your glory and in Your name I pray. Amen.
