Have you ever seen a solar eclipse? I saw one a couple of months ago, and it was incredible. If you don’t know or haven’t seen one, this is when the moon crosses in between the sun and the Earth, blocking the light from the sun. In some areas the moon will block out the light from the sun, but only in a small area. The moon isn’t big enough to block all the light all the time. Even in the darkness, the sun is still shining.

Those of us who trust in Jesus are the same way. We can read in John that our light shines even in the darkness. There is nothing that can overcome it. Maybe at your high school, it seems like no one believes what you believe. That is a chance for you to overcome the darkness with the light and hope of Jesus. You might be on a team where those around you talk about things that do not glorify God. Well, that is an opportunity for you to be a light to them. Or maybe your whole family looks at you weird for believing in Jesus. That is another opportunity for you to share the light of Jesus with them however you can.

This week, look for ways that you can be a light in the darkness around you. Remember that through it all, the light and hope of Jesus is inside of you. That means He is always there to help you shine.
