WITH JESUS, THERE IS NO DARKNESS
John 12: 44-50
“I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.”
John 12:46 (NIV)
It is not hard for us to imagine a world of darkness: we have lived through those moments, those endless hours, and many times we have despaired and let insecurity and fear take hold of us. But behold, Jesus tells us: I have come to save you, not to judge you. I, the light, am with you; or in other words, I free you from sin, insecurity, fear and anguish: I give you eternal life, MY LIGHT.
With this certainty, recognizing the presence of the Lord, let us receive this free gift of light that is given to us in abundance—a gift we often forget.
Once we have this encounter with the Lord, let us live in that light which darkness cannot extinguish. Jesus is without a doubt The Light; this is what the Scriptures tell us. With Him, we have Hope. Let us trust in Him.
Prayer: God of Light and power, help your Church to see You in the midst of this world. Through Jesus Christ, Amen.

CON JESÚS NO HAY TINIEBLAS
Juan 12: 44-50
“Yo, la luz, he venido al mundo para que todo aquel que cree en mí no permanezca en tinieblas”.
Juan 12:46
No es difícil para nosotros imaginar un mundo de oscuridad: hemos vivido esos momentos, horas interminables, y muchas veces nos hemos desesperado; la inseguridad y el temor se apoderan de nosotras y nosotros. Pero he aquí, Jesús nos dice: Yo he venido a salvarlos, no a juzgarlos. Yo, la luz, estoy con ustedes; o lo que es lo mismo, los libro de pecados, inseguridades, temor y angustias, les doy la vida eterna, MI LUZ.
Ante esta certeza, reconociendo la presencia del Señor, recibiremos esta luz gratuita que nos es dada sin medidas y, que a veces olvidamos.
Si ya tuvimos este encuentro con el Señor, vivamos en esa luz que las tinieblas no pueden apagar. Jesús es sin dudas La Luz, eso nos dice La Palabra. Con Él tenemos Esperanza. Confiemos.
Oración: Dios de la Luz y el poder, ayuda a tu Iglesia a verte en medio de esta tierra. Por Jesucristo. Amén
