Gospel Reflections #398: Jesus is the light that remakes our hearts.

John 8:12 Jesus said again, "I am the light of the world. I am the light of the world. He who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."

This word means that Jesus said to the adulterous woman, "I will not punish you, so that you will sin no more. I will punish you no more, and from now on you will sin no more."This is the scripture after Jesus said to the adulteress, "I will not punish you."

Jesus clearly says to the people, "I am the light of the world."

Just as the natural sun sustains the life of all creation, Jesus, the spiritual sun, is the light that remakes our hearts.

If we accept the light of Jesus, the seed of faith sown in our hearts by Jesus will surely grow by His light.

Just as our seed will not immediately bear fruit no matter how hard we try, the blueprint built into the seed can only be opened by Jesus, and only by Jesus can it grow.

We can only receive the light of Jesus.

We are allowed to grow by always turning our faces to Jesus and basking in the light of his love, his forgiveness, and his joy.

As a result, our actions become more like Jesus.

We need to focus not on our efforts and achievements in this world, but on how much and how we receive the light of Jesus.

To do this, our response to Jesus will be transformed by knowing and touching daily who He is to us.

God will provide all the arrangements we need.

All we have to do is receive it!
