About this episode

The episode discusses Christ as the Truth and the importance of being a light in the darkness by helping others.

We’ve considered Christ as the Way to the gifts of God’s Spirit and God’s life. In this and the coming episodes, we turn our attention to Christ as the Truth offsetting darkness. Without intervention, without light, darkness reigns. It is the natural state of things. God offsets the natural state of things. The common tendency is blend in with the crowd. Most of us are uncomfortable with attention. Most of us would rather go somewhat unnoticed. If you can blend in, less may be expected of you. Safety is thought to be found in numbers blending in with the crowd which gives rise to a silent accord of low expectations, an unconscious consensus of mediocrity. The Lord promised that if we care for the poor and provide help for those in need, “Then shall thy light break forth as the morning…” If you follow the Lord, you will be a light shining in the darkness. Your light will shine, which will be Him, His light, and whether you choose it or want it, you will be a city set on a hill.
