God as Light
God is light, and in God there is no darkness at all. Can we imagine living a life with no dark corners and no cold secrets? Each day God offers us the opportunity to be light to the world.
If we walk in the light we have fellowship with one another. Can we imagine a world that values the common good over individual comfort? Each day God calls us together in the fellowship of the Spirit.
If we say, “We are without sin,” we deceive ourselves. Can we imagine love that forgives infinitely, heals endlessly, and guides faithfully? Each day God walks with us in the person of our brother the Christ.
God says: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with me, and the Word was me. Jesus was in the beginning with me. All things came into being through him and me, and apart from him and me nothing came into being that has come into being. In us was life, and the life was the Light of the human race. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
God is light and we, God’s creatures, are created in this light. Let us share this good news with all who want to hear. Let us give thanks for this gift with all who have eyes to see. And let us extend God’s gift of light to others, even those who persecute us.
