More light!
Much has been said about these last words of Johann Wolfang von Goethe. In his 83rd year Goethe was sitting at home in Weimar chatting with his daughter-in-law. Wanting to enjoy the morning sun he called to a servant to open the window shutters. "More light!" he said. "More light!" With that he fell into a nap and died in his sleep.
More light! St. John chose to use light as a metaphor to tell us about Jesus' birth. "The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world," he wrote. "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." (John 1) The Time after Epiphany is a season of light. It arrives when the Wise Men follow the Christmas Star to Bethlehem, and as Jesus' true identity and purpose unfold, we follow - and let his light shine on us!
Join us as we gather each Sunday to worship the child who arrived at Christmas and to say - again and again - "More light! More light!"
