1 John: 3:22 "And we receive from Him whatever we ask, because we obey His commandments and do what pleases Him."
TODAY'S REFLECTION
Jesus is the light of the world. His mission in the territory of Zebulon and Naphtali indicates the fulfilment of a prophecy of restoration made in Isaiah 9:1-2.
The place is known as the Galilee of the Gentiles. Jesus took the light to the heathens in their own land. He does not just wait for us to come to him; he comes to us because he loves us and wants to save us. He stands now at the door of your life waiting to dispel whatever darkness, sin, sickness, poverty, restlessness – that threatens you, if only you will let him in.
May the star that showed the way to the wise men continue to accompany us on our faith journey.
