First Baptist Church of Colorado Springs

Our job as light isn't simply to draw attention to ourselves, but to provide some sense of illumination in this dark world for the sake of others to fill this world with light. When Jesus says, let your light shine, he doesn't mean for us to become our sparkly sparkliest versions of ourselves for our own benefit. He means for us to light the path for someone else. He means for us to push back the darkness that threatens to swallow someone else. He means for us to become a beacon of hope for someone else.

And friends, in this space, that is what God is inviting us to do, to do things in a new way, to be a new people, to love our neighbors creatively, and to know that every drop that we pour into this matters.

That instead of chopping down branches of a family tree and causing destruction, they instead put work into fields and food to help feed new mothers and to help build onto the family tree. What would that look like? It feels impossible, and yet Isaiah is prophesying that and saying it will happen. It will happen. And not in some future, millennia, later time. Isaiah's writing says, in a day to come. Meaning, I want to see it come to fruition now.

Are you prepared? This is question number two with the multitude of questions to follow. Are you prepared? Are you in the word every day? Do you wake up seeking that word? All of us, and it's tough to do. It's tough to make that time in our busy world. But, Pastor Scott, hold up your Bible for me. We have it all right there.
