A Voice in the Wilderness

Let your light shine!

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14

This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine…

Maybe you grew up singing this as a child. It was and still is, one of those simple children’s songs that carries a message of profound truth.

We are in the season of Epiphany...a season in which we reflect on God revealing his glory in the person of Jesus. Over the next several weeks we will see this glory revealed in the baptism of Jesus, his miracles and teachings, and the Transfiguration.

But it is also a time when we ask God to put his glory on display in us as his people here on earth. We seek to let Christ shine in our hearts, that we might be transformed (transfigured perhaps) by the light of his glory. Not for our personal glorification...but that Jesus might be lifted up!

In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 5:16)

In this year ahead, how might we let our light shine as a church that:

Worships together

Learns together

Serves together

Prays together

Gives together

Shares together

Plays together

Grows together

Blessings,

Matthew+
