Shine : Shining Light Into the Dark - John 4:7-29

This world is dark, cold, and full of suffering. Anyone can see that. This world is not a happy place. Bad things happen. Mistakes are made. Powerful people control the world and the weak are caught in the cross-fire. For many, this world is dark. People try to find the light, yet all light seems, at some point, to fade. Is there hope in this world? Yes, there is hope. This hope shines into the world through little small places. Hope shines through in the midst of tragedy. In the good things that happen that are just too good to be true. In the parts of life where the transcendent and divine come down to light up our world. That hope is only found in Jesus, in his person, promises, and through his people.
