JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Light Reflection is from Second Corinthians 5:15.

Speaking of Jesus, “He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for him who died for them and was raised again.”

The light of the Gospel gives us purpose to live for God’s glory.

The death and resurrection of Jesus motivates us to love and serve God with every ounce of strength that we have. Jesus gave His all for us. Now, in gratitude, we have the opportunity to live for Him. We live with the confidence that we do not serve a dead Savior, but a Living Savior. Therefore, our purpose is a victorious cause.

In light of the resurrection, First Corinthians 15:58 says, “My dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.”

This Light Reflection inspires us to delight in God’s purpose for our lives to glorify Him in the Year to Shine.
