Nothing to Hide

John writes, “But 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 cleanses us from all sin.” We live in a culture that is all about being “real and authentic.” This often results in us walking in darkness, but being honest and real about it, and this somehow translates to fellowship. However, the Bible (which is timeless) testifies that the way we have “real and authentic” fellowship is to “walk in the light” as Jesus is in the light. I want us to have this kind of fellowship, but it will only be possible if we are walking in the light. The last part of the verse tells us what happens when we walk in the light-the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all our sin. As changes come about in our church, the means to which we will deepen our relationships with one another is to walk in the light…this involves living in such a way that we have nothing to hide; not because we are “real” about it, but because we actually have nothing to hide. I pray you will join me in this journey and if you do, God has promised that we will have fellowship with one another.
