While you have the light, believe in the light

John 12:36
While you have the light, believe in the light

Jesus was speaking about Himself as the Light. He would be on earth for only a limited amount of time, yet almost none of those who saw and listened to Him realised this. When He is gone from the earth, He wants us to keep being faithful to God.

Today, this can also be applied to use when we have very positive spriritual experiences and we walk very closely to God. However, in the fallen world, such spiritual experiences may not last all the time. However, the faith that we are called to, the commitment to God that we profess should not be dependent on our spiritual highs. In fact it is in our most desperate times that it will be helpful, to have maturity and strength in our faith.
