Emphasis Preaching Journal

One of the first songs I learned as a child in Sunday school was "This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine." Light was an important metaphor to Paul as he wrote to the Corinthians. He who had been a blinded persecutor of the faith became the courageous commander of that light brigade called the church.

Light is essential to life. Without it our earth would become a blackened cinder of frozen tundra floating aimlessly through the vast reaches of cosmic night.
