Witnessing to Joy?
•
John Hebenton
Last week we were invited to “Wake up!”- John asks what does that mean for us?
He then uses John 1, particularly John 1: 26+7, and Isaiah 61:1-4, 8-11, to offer a response - waking up to God’s presence in the light of Christ in our midst
He uses Isaiah and Luke 1: 46-55 (Mary’s song of praise and protest) to think about where that light is found today, both within us and in our world.
Using John as our model, how do we bear witness to this light?
Advent is time to take time to nurture that light within, that we might see light of Christ in our world and give witness to it
