Jesus Is the Light of the World

By Dale Von Thun as told to Kerri Bland

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. Psalm 121:1-2

I felt directionless and was looking for purpose before becoming a believer in Christ. Then, as a new Christian, Jesus taught me to focus on His light. The world has become less troubling and its ideas are less important as my spiritual journey has continued.

When my brain cancer was diagnosed, my focus did not change. Cancer is only a storm; Jesus is the lighthouse. He is on the cliff and He brought me in through the storm. I have learned that no matter what happens—whether life is stormy or placid—I will focus on the Light until I get home.

The song “Praise You in the Storm” was an encouragement as I faced the cancer surgery. My grandchildren call the song “Grandpa’s Song.” It has been a privilege to share what Jesus has done for me with them.

Jesus is the Light of the World and He is the Lighthouse in the midst of life’s storms. What situation can you ask Him to see you through today?

Jesus, Light of the World, I am thankful that there is no darkness in You. Help me to focus on You and Your perspective in my world today.
