The
glow of a lighthouse isn't meant to illuminate the inside of the building. It's
meant to pierce obscurity when darkness descends and storms arise. The noise a
lighthouse makes isn't for the keeper's entertainment. It's for cutting through
fog too thick for light to penetrate, for raising an alarm, for guiding the
lost.
When
I see a lighthouse situated at the far edge of safety, I think of our call to
light the world. Like the beacons that guide ships to safe harbor, we are the
hope of the Lord made visible. We drive our light into the darkness and our
voices through the fog of life. “See! Hear! Come! Christ is where chaos ends.”
Let
us shine boldly so that those still tossing in the storm may find their way to
the safe harbor that Christ offers. God calls us out of darkness, and makes us
into light for others.
