The Greater Light

From the gentle morning sun rays that break through your window in the morning, …

to the headlights that guide you on your way home at night, light is a constant presence.

Yet, there is a greater Light than any physical light we know…

In Isaiah 60:1, the prophet speaks of this greater Light.

And his words are more than pretty poetry and a prophecy;

they are a call to action, an encouragement for God’s people to find hope—Light, in the midst of darkness (Isaiah 59:9-10):

“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.” Isaiah 60:1

This Light is a beacon of hope, the picture of salvation and spiritual awakening.

This Light is the true Light, the Messiah—Jesus Christ.

He is the light God’s people needed then (Isaiah 59:9-10), and He is the light our hearts desperately need today.

The Greater Light

In a world that sometimes can feel like it’s drowning in darkness—disasters, wars, injustice, and suffering—,

Isaiah’s message is an invitation to embrace God’s true Light of salvation, revealed in the New Testament to be Jesus Christ.

God, If I have light to give to the world, it’s because it comes from You.

Let this light shine brightly within you, driving out the shadows of darkness and illuminating the path for those who don’t know this Light.

The Greater Light

Pause for a moment. Imagine a world filled with the light of God’s love and truth.

Can you imagine a world where the light of Christ shines from the windows of every home and down every street…

God wants to use you—yes, you—to shine His light.

Isaiah 60:1 KJV

Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.

Let Us Pray 

God, You are the source of all goodness and wisdom. If I have light to give to the world, it’s because it comes from You.

Your light is my salvation and guide.

Please use me as a light in the world to show Your grace and mercy.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.
