Episode 33 Letting God Be Your Light

What does it mean to see Jesus as the light of the world? Just as a candle cannot light itself, we cannot bring light into our own souls. Consider how Isaiah proclaims that “justice is far from us, and righteousness does not reach us. We look for light, but all is darkness; for brightness, but we walk in deep shadows" (Isaiah 59:9).

"Surrendering to God is hard. Not surrendering to God is harder." What does a surrendered life look like?
