It's All About The Light

"...the people living in darkness    have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of the shadow of death
    a light has dawned.
From that time on Jesus began to preach, 'Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near'"
Matt 4:16-17

My youngest granddaughter loves playing with my cameras. The other night she kept herself very busy taking photos (including selfies) in the dark using both of my cameras with the different flash options to see which was best. No matter what she used, she found that in order to take photos in the dark there still had to be some light. If it was too dark, nothing happened. If it was too dark there was nothing to see.

The light of Christ must also be present in our lives. If we continue to dwell in darkness, nothing will happen; nothing will change. We will remain lost and alone in the dark. But, the light has come into the world; into the land of the shadow of death. The light of Christ does shine in the darkest recesses of our hearts and minds. Turn to the light, repent, and enter into the light, enter into the Kingdom of God, for it is at hand.

God's Peace - Pr. J
