Scripture Lesson:1 John 1:5-2:2
Preacher: Paul Bourman
Description: Thursday – 1 John 1:5-2:2 The two readings from John’s First Letter, read on this day and on Friday, proclaim the powerful force that the Light of the world has in our lives. In the first reading, we learn that this light from God affects our relationship with him and his Son. The pure light of God’s essential perfection forces us to be honest about our utter inability to be like God in sinless purity. We cannot stand in his presence, and we must confess the same. But the pure light of God’s essential grace provides a relief from the darkness and death of sin and lifts our eyes to the brilliance of the Savior’s sacrifice for sin. This light leads us to confess and prompts God to absolve.
