Headlights and Taillights.

I have never really enjoyed driving, but dislike it even more when it's to be done at night time.

Last night I was driving in the rain, down the 101, from Gilroy to home. The radio was static and I have currently exhausted all my CD's. In fact, I doubt they'll even play for me anymore. 

I normally don't ride without the radio on, but I decided to turn it off and maybe let Jesus speak to me if He wanted. For a while there was nothing. Just me and the road. Then I got to thinking about how pretty the headlights and taillights looked on the wet freeway. Both of their reflections were bright and colorful. Headlights, bright white. Taillights, bright red. Two significant colors to a Christian. Isaiah 1:18 says "Come now, and let us reason together, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be like wool." Our sins are scarlet. They are bright red. Noticeable. They are the color of taillights, but because of Christs forgiveness and death for us, we are no longer forgotten in the back. We are bright white, shining along Christ, and leading the those who are still in the taillight position. I think I'd like to be a headlight for Jesus. 

 

1 John 1:7

But if we [really] are living and walking in the Light, as He [Himself] is in the Light, we have [true, unbroken] fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses (removes) us from all sin and guilt [keeps us cleansed from sin in all its forms and manifestations].
