Ephesians 5:8-14

You have become light in the Lord. Live as children of the light.

Paul urges Christians in the cities of the Roman Empire to love one another, as Christ has loved them by giving up his life on the cross. Paul reminds them that they once were darkness but now they are light, because in faith they share in the light of Christ.

Light, however, may cast a shadow. Is there a downside to Christian love? Are we tempted by our goodness to be proud and self-righteous? How might we manifest more humbly the light of Christ?

Grace and peace...Bob
