sunriseLight in the Lord
Third Sunday in Lent, 2011
Text: Ephesians 5:8

The Rev. Stephen E. Stults

Read the sermon

Excerpt:

It is so obvious: those who walk in darkness are not of God. They do not do the things which please Him; yet all things dark are “reproved” by the light. Just as light “rebukes” darkness by overcoming it, so our excellent behavior in Christ will rebuke and reprove the evil in the world around us. Just striving to be a good Christian and to live in God’s Will is an active weapon against the powers of darkness. Even if we are not called to actively oppose the powers of evil in some grand cause, just seeking God’s Will and walking in the light of Christ provides a potent offense against Satan. We support the right by walking in the light.

In this, we are not to be asleep or dulled to the powers of evil, for St. Paul says to us: “Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead and Christ shall give thee light” (Ephesians 3:14). We are to be awake, alert and aware of the evil around us and to rely on Christ to light our way. In this, our enlightened and bright walk, we will please God.
