Luke 2:32 (NIV)
32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and the
glory of your people Israel.”
If we could look through mighty telescopes or listen to
electronic soundings, we could hear and see the metallic stars which both
Russia and America have put into space in the past years. None of these
synthetic stars have brought peace to the world. But God’s star promised peace
to the whole world, if man would believe and trust.
Too often man’s synthetic stars bring fear and anxiety. Our
gadget-filled paradise, suspended in a hell of international insecurity,
certainly does not offer us the happiness of which the last century dreamed.
But there is still a star in the sky. There is still a song
in the air. And Jesus Christ is alive. He is with us, a living presence, to
conquer despair, to impart hope, to forgive sins, and to take away our
loneliness and reconcile us to God.
Thought for today:
Do I go to God to find peace?
