CHILDREN OF LIGHT

“Children of Light”

 

 

In Jesus’ day, he often talked about being, “Children of Light.”

He was roundly criticized for this.  Mistakenly, the people of his

Day thought that he meant that being “spiritual” was good and

Being “earthly” was bad.  What Jesus was, in fact, trying to teach

People, was to choose good instead of evil.

 

So how can we be, “Children of Light” in today’s world.  Give

Someone , who can’t get out a ride to the Doctor’s, or to the store

To get groceries.  Volunteer at a hospital or a rescue mission.  Send

Someone a birthday or a get well card.  Do something good for

Someone anonymously.  There are any number of things we can do

In today’s world.

 

Or we can choose to live selfish, self-absorbed lives, concerned only

With ourselves, our own material goals, our own sexuality, our own

Needs, etc.

 

Choose to be a “Child of Light” in today’s world.
