Let There Be Light: Light Brings Hope

One of the most familiar images the scriptural witness uses to describe the power of God is light. It’s an image that is often used to indicate that darkness will not continue its reign. Merely opening your eyes is a reminder that darkness does not have the final say in things. This is the message that Advent brings to us, even and especially in a time of illness, death, and pandemic. God's light brings hope to the darkness in this world. It is a light that cannot be overcome, bringing the hope we long for, peace in uncertainty, and the light of hope in our lives.
