God’s Word has so much to say about Fire and Light and how symbolic they are in our Life in Christ and Christ in us! 2 Cor. 4 reminds us once again that He is the Light and Treasure inside of our Earthen Vessels! Because of this we know that the power is from Him not us! So encouraging that the Light of the World ( John 8:12) has also called us the Light of the World!( Matthew 5:14-16). In Philippians 2:14-16 We are like stars shinning in the universe holding out the Word of life in our hands! He is the Light and in Him there is no darkness! Darkness has to bow to light! We often think of a light bulb that can be switched on and off. But this light is more like a flame or a torch even, representing God’s Presence that purifies, and guides us into Truth Luke 12:49 Jesus said that He came to set the world on Fire! That is a bit scary and can sound contradictory to a Gracious God who so loved the World that He gave Jesus to take our place at the cross! But that fire burns up the things that are robbing us of true life in Him! It is the transformative work of the Holy Sprit! God’s interaction with Humanity and desire for His children to walk in Truth and righteousness. We are encouraged to fan that flame(gift of God) in us 2 Tim.1:5-7. We need to be encouraging each! Darkness bows to Light! Love has overcome the night! 💜
