Light of Life

John 8:12, "The spake Jesus again unto to them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."

As I read this scripture, I came to a new understand of it. I understand that Christ is the light of the world, a particularly poignant symbol at this time of year, but I really felt like Christ was trying to tell me to do something, give me a commandment, if you will, in this verse. I studied it and came up with the idea that if Christ is the light of the world, and I know it and I see it, then I need to spread it. Right now, at this time in history, Christ's light cannot cover the whole Earth and light everyone's darkness. That is where I come in. I need to spread that light that makes everyone's days a little more joyful. So I decided to sweep off the 6 or 7 inches of snow and ice that had caked everyone's car in my ward. I thought that if I could put it into practice, I would really be spreading a little bit of that Christ, or Christmas, light.

Simple Statement of Principle: Pick up Christ's light and share it.
