FROM THE Pastor's Desk
'O house of Jacob,
oome let us walk in
the light of the Lord' (Isaiah 2.5)
At one time in my life I worked as a nurse.
Much of my duty time was spent on the night
shift. In the darkness and subdued light I
would find my eyes adjusting to the point
where it was not impossible to perform a
great number of nursing tasks without light.
Seeing in and through the darkness became the
norm for those night hours. Yet when dawn
came, and the sun's light brightened the
ward, I knew again that it was in light
and not in darkness that one saw best.
Many would say that the world today is in
great darkness. This is a sad fact, but it
is not the most tragic aspect. The greatest
tragedy is that we have adjusted our eyes to
be able to see in this darkness. It is be-
lieved that it is only through this darkness
that the world can be perosived. Our moral,
spiritual and emotional eyesight has become
restricted. Trying to see things through
the darkness or through badly reflected rays
of light has left us with a distorted view
of the world, of our neighbour, of ourselves
and even God. But just as the dawn came and
illumined the hospital ward, so too for the
world has the Sun come and made things clearer.
That Sun of course is Jesus Christ. Through
His light it becomes obvious that our narrow,
distorted and fearful view of the world is
not the right one. So during this Advent
Season let us heed the call of the prophet
Isaiah and 'walk in the light of the Lord'.
