The Topic of Our Daily Bread For 27th November 2024 is “Christ’s Light Shines Bright”
Bible in a Year: Ezekiel 30-32; 1 Peter 4
Memory Verse: 1 John 1:5
God is light.
Today’s Scripture & Insight: 1 John 1:5-7
Bible teacher Warren Wiersbe points out how God reveals Himself through His creation, but there’s additional—and vital—revelation. Wiersbe notes that we also have “the Word of life” (1 John 1:1), which is Christ Himself. And we have the eyewitness testimony of the apostles, including John, who tells us, “[That] which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life” (v. 1). John wanted us to know the truth of his message. He writes, “The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us” (v. 2). This is the heart of the gospel message. Jesus appeared on earth as one of us, and eternal life is only through Him.

ODB MESSAGE FOR TODAY
When the lights went out on the streets of Highland Park, Michigan, a passion for another light source—the sun—found a home there. The struggling town lacked funds to pay its utility company. The power company turned off the streetlights and removed the lightbulbs in 1,400 light poles. That left residents unsafe and in the dark. “Here comes a couple of children right now, on their way to school,” a resident told a news crew. “There are no lights. They just have to take a chance on walking down the street.”
That changed when a nonprofit group formed to install solar-powered streetlights in the town. Working together, the humanitarian organization saved the city money on energy bills while securing a light source that helped meet residents’ needs.
In our life in Christ, our reliable light source is Jesus Himself, the Son of God. As John the apostle wrote, “God is light; in him there is no darkness at all” (1 John 1:5). John noted, “If we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin” (v. 7).
Jesus Himself declared, “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). With God’s Holy Spirit guiding our every step, we’ll never walk in darkness. His light always shines bright.
Reflect & Pray
How have you experienced the light of Jesus in your life? Today, who can you tell about Him?
Let Your light shine bright, dear God, in every corner of my life.
