“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin.” (I John 1:7)
When I was a young man sometimes two or three of us would be walking in the woods at night with our only light being a kerosene lantern. Sometimes we would stop and rest as we sat around the light of the lantern and shared each other’s company as we shared the light.
John states that as long as we are walking in God’s light we have fellowship with God. The way this reads it means we have fellowship, not only with God, but also with other believers who are walking in God’s light.
I discovered something else from that old lantern: The closer we were to the light the better we could see the light, see the path and the better we could each experience the presence of the others who were walking in the light.
