The Reign of God as a light being turned on. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com . The Reign of God as a light being turned on opens our lives to more life. Beyond what we are able to see, this Reigning light shines out to expose that which may be our future - if we choose to go there. No longer are we limited by the fears that prevent us from living. No longer are we limited by the grand vision for life that we hold for ourselves. The Reign of God as a light being turned on helps us see that our imagination is not merely fantasy - it is becoming real - present - at hand. At times it is frightening to have a pathway open up to us - to see a way into a new existence. And yet, God keeps turning on the lights and drawing us into life that seems to always be the life of others. Here and now, lights are being turned on and we are being invited to play in a future we could not see previously. The Reign of God as a light being turned on is also the presence of truthfulness. That is not always easy to take - it can wound - it can change everything - it can make us have to wrestle with ourselves without resolution but always with new ways to see life. O God of love and new life, though we are often afraid of the dark it is also true that we are anxious about how light will change all things. And yet, you come as one bearing light for life eternal. Amen. |
