Arise! Shine! Your Light is Come! - Epiphany of the Lord 2019

Just as light is the appropriate symbol for Christ, darkness is the appropriate symbol for a world without Christ. We make our resolutions, but it’s not easy in a world of darkness. Our biggest enemy is within. There is something within our hearts (our fallen human nature) that causes some of us to resist the very things that we need to have a satisfying life. In the same way, light is the appropriate symbol of a world with Christ. He is our guide, our strength, the One who fills our life with meaning. Thank God we have a star to follow. It is the same star that guided the Magi long ago. It is the light of Christ. Christ, who is a dependable guide, whose love never fails. My friends, are you tired of living in darkness? “Arise, shine, for your light is come.”
