The Earthly life of Jesus began in Shadows. The flickering of a candle burned in a rugged stable, the Light of the World delivered himself into our darkness.In the shadows of ancient temples, we see Jesus preaching "let there be light," and hope began to live where once only despair and night had ruled.
In the shadows of an upper room, we see Jesus experiencing betrayal, but even in betrayal he was teaching the world about forgiveness and servanthood.
In the midnight of Gethsemane, we see Jesus himself, struggling as we do with the lengthening shadows of life, and still, he teaches us about obedience and sacrifice.
We look past Pilate's court, we see Jesus walk through the valley of the shadow of death as he embraces the cross. Yet it is the silhouette of that same cross which, cast onto the sands of time, offers rest and shelter for those who are weary from the journey. In that sacred shadow, we discover our faith. It is there we develop our night vision, trusting God to be our guide.
Come join us as we walk together for a while in the shadow of the cross? It will not be an easy sojourn, but we will not walk alone. As we confront the "dark night of the soul," we can always find comfort in this: That wherever there are shadows, there is also light.
