Approaching the Light

You should not be intimated by the light of God’s Presence. I encourage you to approach the light. This teaching is part 11 in the “Let there be Light” series. Come experience the book of Genesis through the lens of the Light. The Lord is calling you to connect with Him in a deep and meaningful way through the Light. In this week’s Torah portion, Parashah Vayigash, Judah approached Joseph. “18 Then Judah approached him and said, “Please, my lord, let now your servant speak something into my lord’s ears, and let not your wrath be kindled against your servant, for you are like Pharaoh.” (Genesis 44:18 Chabad.org) We encounter the spiritual conflict that ensued between Joseph and Judah. On the surface, it appears as though there is a clashing conflict between them. In this teaching, you will learn that each brother’s approach complimented the other. Each brother had a different approach to disseminating the Light of holiness in the world. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to Approach the Light. “9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people, that you may declare the wonderful deeds of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.” (1 Peter 2:9 RSV) Like Joseph and Judah, you are called to participate in the glorious light.
