Send your light and truth—those will guide me!
Let them bring me... to your dwelling place.
LUKE 2:29-32 (NLT)
“Sovereign Lord, now let your servant die in peace,
as you have promised.
I have seen your salvation,
which you have prepared for all people.
He is a light to reveal God to the nations,
and he is the glory of your people Israel!”
THE ESSENCE
Jesus is the light, revealing God to all nations.
DAILY FODDER
Luke 2:29-31 is a caution to all who would reduce or limit the light of God to a single group, nation, or tribe. Fundamental to our faith is: 1) Jesus is the light and 2) the light can't be contained.
PRAYER
Jesus, you are the promised light, revealing God to all the nations. Forgive me for being content to simply sit in your light here in my place. Share your passion for the world with me. Your light can't be contained. 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.
