Darkness. Light. People are one or the other. We are called to be “light in the Lord”. As we live according to Scripture and the Spirit, we come more and more to reflect the light that Jesus Christ is. Writing from prison in Rome, Paul reminds the Ephesians in chapters 1-3 of their new identity – who […]
