Let Us Be Light

 Mark 4: 21-25

A Lamp on a Stand

21 He said to them, “Do you bring in a lamp to put it under a bowl or a bed? Instead, don’t you put it on its stand? 22 For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open. 23 If anyone has ears to hear, let them hear.”

24 “Consider carefully what you hear,” he continued. “With the measure you use, it will be measured to you—and even more. 25 Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.”

Jesus proclaimed himself as the Light of the World,. and, indeed, no teacher, philosopher or prophet has ever answered the questions nor given as sound direction and LIGHT to the understanding of or the explanation of how best to be fully human, as he. The darkness we still experience is because we have failed to let that light shine through us into our world. Yes, it is the work of a lifetime to absorb his light, make it our own and let it become visible through our words and actions.  May we spend time with the Light, by reflecting daily on his life and words and pray that that we become a vessel of light, a lamp shining in the darkness.
