Your sun will never go down,
your moon will never fade.
I will be your eternal light.
2 CORINTHIANS 4:6 (MSG)
It started when God said, “Light up the darkness!” and our lives filled up with light as we saw and understood God in the face of Christ, all bright and beautiful.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
As we gaze on Christ his forever light illumines our lives.
DAILY FODDER
Why is light such a powerful metphor for what God does through Christ?
PRAYER
Jesus, you are the light of the world, and you call us to find illumination by looking to you. Forgive us for looking for light in other directions—messiah-wanna-bes and their artifical light shows. Help me to maintain focus on you—the pure and genuine light who transforms. I'm counting on you to be there forever and if you desire, that I would be an effective mirror of your light to the world around me. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
