Many thanks to my Japanese friends who sent me these beautiful pictures (Arigato!). Aren't they adorable? I love them.

for he has no light vs. there is no light in him

During our bible study cell group meeting last Friday, I shared John 11:1~45 with the group. This particular verse is very interesting:
9Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours of daylight? A man who walks by day will not stumble, for he sees by this world's light. 10It is when he walks by night that he stumbles, for he has no light." (New International Version)
Sounds pretty straight forward huh? but I was prompted to cross-refer this verse with another version of the bible:

9Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. 10But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him. (King James Version)

To me, the last sentence of verse 10 differs greatly between these two versions of bibles. I am more inclined to accept King James Version, having related it to the context of John 11:1~45 which is about faith. We depend on the light of "this world" is like we are depending on our sight. Faith is from within, just like the light in us, we won't stumble even if we face difficulties along our journey of life.
