When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
– John 8:12 (NIV)
The youth group traveled in a caravan. All the youth thought the people in the first car knew their destination, and the first car continued to lead the way through the neighborhood. After they circled around several times, one of the youth called someone in the first car to ask if they knew where they were going. The people in the first car answered that they didn’t, but because everyone was following, they thought they must be headed in the right direction.
We tend to think that if many people are following someone, that person must be the right person to follow. We don’t always check to see whether that person will lead us in the right direction.
But we can be sure in following our Lord Jesus Christ. He said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” He told Simon Peter, James, and John to follow. “So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him.” Only Jesus can lead us to the destination that gives us life.
