“The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light.”
— Matthew 4:16 (NKJV)
Meeting Jesus is not an encounter—it is a transformation. When Christ enters a life, darkness gives way to light, confusion to clarity, and death to life.
Life Without Christ
The Bible describes life without Christ as spiritual darkness.
“But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God.”
— 1 Corinthians 2:14 (NKJV)
This darkness may show up as:
Emptiness despite success
Guilt that won’t go away
Fear of the future
Lack of peace
Jesus: The Light of the World
Jesus declares:
“I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”
— John 8:12 (NKJV)
When you meet Jesus:
Truth replaces confusion
Peace replaces fear
Purpose replaces emptiness
A Real Transformation
The Gospel does not modify behavior—it changes hearts.
“For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord.”
— Ephesians 5:8 (NKJV)
This transformation is not by human effort but by faith in Christ.
Step Into the Light Today
Jesus is calling you out of darkness.
“To open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God.”
— Acts 26:18 (NKJV)
