Walk in the Light

Dorothy Sayers writes, "He is the only God who has a date in history .... There is no more astonishing collection of phrases than that which, in the Nicene Creed, sets these two statements flatly side by side" 'Very God of Very God... He suffered under Pontius Pilate.' All over the world, thousands of times a day, Christians recite the name of a rather undistinguished Roman proconsul ... merely because that name fixes within a few years the date of the death of God."

And then Heaven broke its silence (John 12:28). "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again." All the past was in that, all the past of human history, specifically the history of God's son, Jesus. And now the world is judged.

Then Jesus said, "For a little while longer the Light is among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes. While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of Light."
