WEDNESDAY STUDY
NOON & 6:30PM
Scripture: John 1:8-9
He [John] himself wasn’t the light, but his mission was to testify concerning the light. The true light that shines on all people was coming into the world.
Thought for the Day: As I work through the opening chapter of John’s Gospel as part of our Wednesday study, I am drawn to the description of the light – how it was coming into the world. It had not yet arrived, but it was making its way there. During this Lenten season, let us be very cognizant of the darkness of the world, yet as we stand in the darkness, let us also echo the words from John’s opening chapter, the true light that shines upon us all is making its way into the world. Christianity is full of what some might call the already, but not yet. We are defined by truths that are described as: was, is and shall be. John is remembering the entrance of the light as the incarnate Christ, and though we look to that moment as the perfect paradigm of divine disclosure, God continues to find ways of disclosing light into the darkness – now and in the future.
Prayer: God, grant that the light of your grace will continue to envelop the whole earth, and may we bask in it warmth and reflect its welcome. Amen.
