The deeper we grow in the spirit of jesus christ, the poorer we become - the more we realize that everything in life is a gift. the tenor of our lives becomes one of humble and joyful thanksgiving. awareness of our poverty and ineptitude causes us to rejoice in the gift of being called out of darkness into wondrous light and translated into the kingdom of god's beloved son.

Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist either. darkness is in reality the absence of light. light we can study, but not darkness. in fact we can use newton's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. you cannot measure darkness. a simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. how can you know how dark a certain space is? you measure the amount of light present. isn't this correct? darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present.

The old testament records the preparation for the coming of the messiah. the gospels record the coming of the messiah, jesus christ our lord. the book of acts records the propagation of the gospel (the good news) concerning jesus christ. the epistles (letters) explain the gospel and its implications for our lives. the book of revelation anticipates and describes the second coming of jesus christ and the establishment of his eternal kingdom. from beginning to end, the bible glorifies jesus christ and centers on him. its christ-centeredness is one of its wonderful features.

To follow jesus implies that we enter into a way of life that is given character and shape and direction by the one who calls us. to follow jesus means picking up rhythms and ways of doing things that are often unsaid but always derivative from jesus, formed by the influence of jesus. to follow jesus means that we can't separate what jesus is saying from what jesus is doing and the way that he is doing it. to follow jesus is as much, or maybe even more, about feet as it is about ears and eyes" (the way of jesus, eugene h. peterson, 22).

Why is it important that you are with god and god alone on the mountain top? it's important because it's the place in which you can listen to the voice of the one who calls you the beloved. to pray is to listen to the one who calls you 'my beloved daughter,' 'my beloved son,' 'my beloved child.' to pray is to let that voice speak to the center of your being, to your guts, and let that voice resound in your whole being.

Not only do we know god by jesus christ alone, but we know ourselves only by jesus christ. we know life and death only through jesus christ. apart from jesus christ, we do not know what is our life, nor our death, nor god, nor ourselves.
