Sunday Reflection (December 13, 2020)

May we be like John the Baptist: Bearing witness to the light of God’s love revealed in Jesus Christ (John 1:6-9). Perhaps we fail to recognize that all we can do is plant the seeds of God’s love through our actions in obedience to Jesus Christ. The Good News is not about us; it is not about me; it is about Jesus Christ.

We are sent into the world full of darkness to bear witness to the light of Jesus Christ. We do this not in competition with one other or by focusing upon “me.” Rather we work together and focus upon Jesus Christ. God works with us to develop and manifest God’s light in the world.
