Light
A single candle
Without a word destroys dark
So we will see true.
And this is the
judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the
darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does
wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his
works should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to
the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out
in God. –John 3:19-21
O Lord, who brings to naught the
designs of the nations, O Ruler, who raises the lowly and humbles the lofty,
have mercy on those who are disheartened. Raise us who have fallen, show
Thyself to those who entreat Thee, and heal those who are sick. Feed the
hungry, free our captives, strengthen the weak, encourage those who lose heart.
All nations shall know that Thou alone art God. –Clement of Rome
And it’s third Sunday, and the kiddos are leading today’s
service at Prince Chapel.
And the light reaches every corner of the room.
And suddenly, perhaps even yet again, it it perfectly clear
why we are to come to Him as children. Uncomplicated and untattered. Hope in Him
alone and eyes bright with expectation.
Hope and expectation.
Advent.
Come Lord Jesus, Come.
