LIGHT FOR THE WORLD

LIGHT FOR THE WORLD - The season of Epiphany, which we are now in, is the season of Light.  A key verse is “Arise, shine, for your light has come” (Isaiah 60:1).  But we are also reminded that Jesus encouraged his followers, “You are the light of the world . . . Let your light shine” (Matthew 5:14, 16).  If ever there was a time when the world would benefit from any light we may be able to shed, it is now.  I was reminded of a famous quote by President John F. Kennedy that has resonated with me this week: “We are not here to curse the darkness.  We are here to light a candle.”  May it be so as we celebrate this season of Light!
