Messenger of HOPE

The verses of John 3:1-21 (Jesus Teaches Nicodemus) contains the essence of coming into the light of the Lord. It is about becoming a "Messenger of HOPE". As human beings and Disciples of Christ we establish an understanding and personal journey toward the divine union with the Lord. As human beings the Lord asks of us to live through our heart and soul (the light), and not our thoughts and ego (the darkness). Jesus describes how we need to live as Disciples of Christ when he states,

“For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.”

We are not put on the earth to condemn, criticize, or complain. Instead the Lord asks us to be living examples of inspiration, guidance, and hope through actions of service, compassion, and kindness.

Coming into the light is about living the truth. We come into the presence of the Lord as we find our voice within our inner being. The Lord asks us to use our voice to inspire others to find their voice. As we help others find their voice we become “Messengers of Hope”.

In daily prayer we ask,
May the Lord provide us guidance, strength, courage, and wisdom.
May the Lord fill us with faith, hope, and charity.
May we give thanks to the Lord for his love, mercy, forgiveness and grace.

With the Lord's guidance, as stated in the Lord's Prayer, “...thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven...”.

Doing his will is our role as Disciples of Christ.
