Arise! Shine! Your Light has come!
These are some of the thoughts I wanted to convey
with this year’s Advent art.
Without God, all is darkness. Then God speaks a Word, and everything is forever changed into a new creation. During Advent, we welcome God’s coming into the dark places of our lives and awakening us from our dark slumber into renewed life. This is not a soft, passive awakening. It is cosmic alarm clock. It is the dawn of creation itself. God's loving light shatters the darkness and reforms it into a new, colorful creation. As the Gospel of John puts it, “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”
This Advent Season, may your life be so awakened, illumined, and reformed by the Light of God.
