The Reign of God as darkness. If you have any comments - adebelak@redeemerluth.com . The Reign of God as darkness will demonstrate that there is no place not included in this Reign of love. For even though the darkness may be so deep and seem endless there is the God who brings us into being - new life. Darkness becomes that which is also a time for the availability of God to move in and claim us and lead us out of darkness or more deeply into it all. To move more deeply into the darkness of our lives is often seen as a time when we are coming closer to the edge. And yet, even as we move to the edge and do not see it until it may be too late, there is God's Reign in the times and places that seem to be too dark for anything to continue. The Reign of God as darkness announces the fact that we are always at home with our God even when our minds are fixed on another view of reality. O God of love and new life, in the most despairing of times you come to walk with us and hold us and promise us that you will never leave us alone. Amen. |
