His Light Shines!

"But for you who revere my name the sun of righteousness shall rise, with healing in its wings. You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall." Malachi 4:2 NIV

As we head further and further into the season of winter, the days get shorter and shorter. The sun is seen for less and less hours. For those who are afflicted with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) it can be a very trying time. They must make a more intentional effort to be out in the sun during the daylight hours to avoid ending up in debilitating depression.

The good news is that even though the sun may not be shining as much as we'd like; the light does shine in the person of the Son, Jesus the Christ. He is the Rise Son and his light shines upon the whole world. It shines upon all who would have their ears and eyes and hearts opened so that they might be healed. We may not go about leaping like calves from the stall as Malachi suggests. Some of us are a little wary about acting looking like fools. But, we will live life and we will live it abundantly in the light of Jesus the Christ. 

Thanks be to God for the sun of has risen; the morning has dawned. Even when we cannot see the light of the sun; the Son of the Most High God shines his light upon the world.

God's Peace - Pr. J
