Light

With the cross staying in the dark, a light shines through the way. It is His word of love and peace.

Love and peace can never be conquered by death and darkness. Through His mercy, we are released from our crosses. We are forgiven if we forgive.

We witness how love and peace bring us back to live, so we proclaim his Love in the light of His light. Easter symbolizes the transforming of oneself, passing over and living a new life in his grace. Turning from darkness to light.

Our “seeing” comes through hearing an unbroken chain of witnesses who have encountered the risen Lord and preached Christ raised from the dead. Jesus commissioned his disciples to preach; they preach not only the good news of forgiveness of sins and the coming of God’s reign, but disciples also preach by their witness to new life in Christ.
