". . . the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."John 1:5
Not only rich in meaning and beautiful in verse, but profound and dramatic in its implications for us as Christians, John 1:5 testifies to the gift of light found in Christ alone. He is salvation and He is the light of the world. We are called to be part of Christ's body, and to shine in this world as Christ does, to burst through the darkness of sin into which we were born.
Christians, let your light shine in this world!
A prayer:
Christ our Lord,
through you we received the gift of light at baptism,
and as you are the Light in the darkness, let us also be.
Through you and in you may we shine brightly,
And, following the way of Your servant, John the Baptist,
may we testify to the Light unceasingly.
AMEN.
