Stepping into the light that reveals and redeems

Do we venture into the revealing light of Christ?

Returning to John 3:19-21 - But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen. The time of advent is a time of waiting, but also a time of repentance; a time to look back on the year. Would we be comfortable exposing our deeds throughout the year to the illuminating light of Christ?

However you might answer that question, we must remember that this light, our Redeemer, illuminates in order to forgive. The light of Christ is warm and bright - it reveals, then covers and erases the darkness within us when we repent, and finally allows us to bask in the light of His grace and peace.
