1 John 2:18-25. Matthew 5:13-19. 1 Sam. 1:1-18, Mark1:14-20

All days are last days and all are first ones. The light which shines in darkness illumines one and all born into the world and all are called to receive it in the heart and mind that the King of Glory may come in and shine through His Incarnate Son and the light and guiding of Our Holy Spirit.

But it is not enough to receive, respond and be enlightened for yourself alone – I speak to one and all – the sons and daughters of the Most High who enter in His Kingdom of eternal ife and light and love are offered knowledge of their heavenly Father’s will for them in the context of the whole – his loving purpose for them as stewards of His gifts and members of His Kingdom.

You, in fellowship with all the faithful and obedient in Our love – are lights of the world as you reflect the image of the invisible God, Firstborn of all creation. Let your light so shine before others that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
