Marvelous Light

You might think that white is the absence of color and black is all the colors mashed together. Not so my friend! In fact, it’s the opposite. White is actually a combination of all the colors. If you take white light and refract it through a prism, out pops red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. All the colors of the rainbow!

So it is with Christ’s marvelous light. When it shows up in us, we see bits and pieces of Christ’s beautiful character. In one person we might see abundant love. In another, joy could be flowing like a river! A third might evidence peace that passes understanding. Each of us has traits that point back to the light within us.

But bring us all together in unity and we are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of His own. When all those colors, all those bits of light come together you can see the incredible spectrum that is His marvelous light.

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of his own, so that you may proclaim the virtues of the one who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

1 Peter 2: 9

Here’s the Thing: We each need to shine the light we’ve been given to proclaim the virtues of the one that called us out of darkness and into His marvelous light!
