Whoever loves his brother lives in the light, and there is nothing in him to make him stumble.
What is light? To throw some answers out there: God, Jesus, christians, Gandhi, etc. The list can go on and our perception of light can differ by opinion, but lets take a look at light in the context of this verse.
According to this verse, whoever loves someone is in the light and you cannot stumble when in this light. So from this, we see that light is a guide for us so that we do not stumble. What else? Everyone would kill to be living in a life where they do not have struggles. What is the requirement per se to have this light? The requirement is love.
I believe that light and love are synonomous. By loving someone, you are like... their light; a light that guides them whenever they are in need. Indeed, light is a perspective changer. It allows us to see the person the way they are and not hide or change anything about that person. With the light, we see who they truely are.
And here is the punch in the face: are you willing to love them when seeing their true self in the light? I would be so ashamed or embarassed or whatever if someone knew the quote unquote real me. But by the grace of God, Jesus was able to accept us even though He see all of us through the light! We are such sinful beings, yet, by the grace of His Majesty, we are saved!
"Whoever loves his brother lives in the light, and there is nothing in him that to make him stumble."
Whoever knows God, will love like no other! With this love of others as Christ has loved us, I believe that God will see your goodness and place His mighty hand upon your life.
Amen!
