The season on the church calendar following Christmas is that of Epiphany. It celebrates the revelation that Christ is 'the light of the world.' There are numerous images in scripture that relate to the coming Messiah (the savior of all mankind). The passages that speak about Jesus as the light are in reference to the realization that our world is in darkness. The stuff of darkness (flood, famine, failures, catastrophes of any nature) are common day occurrences, but a rescue plan needs to be organized from outside. In Queensland we are seeing floods sweep across our land. Rescue comes from outside - like the helicopters who lift people off their roofs. Christ has come into our dark world - let him give you a helping hand to bless you.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all affected by these floods - may help come quickly to your door.
