Sunday Reflection (November 27, 2022)

Origin of Alexandria, an early Christian theologian, was tortured later in life because of his Christian faith. Physically, he was broken, and later he died because of this cruel treatment. He was not a stranger to suffering: When he was young, his father had been martyred because of his faith in Christ. In spite of this, Origin leaves us with these words: “The light of God’s love in Christ is dawning everywhere, thus ending the reign of darkness, sin, and hatred.” We do not have to walk about in darkness, sin, and hatred because God’s Word, Jesus Christ, shows us a better way (Romans 13:11-14). May our proclamation and way of life bear witness to the light of God’s love revealed in Jesus Christ. May that light fill your life and shine through you upon those around you (Isaiah 2:1-5).
