Jesus spoke to His disciples, saying “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

Rejoice, for Light was slain today, yet did not die.

The apostle Paul wrote: “For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”

Rejoice, for Light was slain today, yet did not die.

The apostle Peter implored us to “…proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light…”

Rejoice, for Light was slain today, yet did not die.

C.S. Lewis wrote, “The pure light walks the earth; the darkness, received into the heart of Deity, is there swallowed up. Where, except in uncreated light, can the darkness be drowned?

Rejoice, for Light was slain today, yet did not die.

Does the world seem dark to you right now?

Rejoice, for Light was slain today, yet did not die.

Have fears grabbed hold of your heart?

O heart rise up; O heart, be lifted high.
Rejoice, for Light was slain today, yet did not die.

Amen and amen.

Note: The quote on the photo is from a poem by “Anonymous.” The tulips were dropped off at our house by a friend to brighten our day right after the Stay at Home order went into place.

I’ll probably delete this in the morning.
