Daily Devotion

“The Great Commission has been given: 'Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.' Should we, who possess all light, take that light away from those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death?”

Benjamin Broomhall · The Evangelization of the World: A Missionary Team

Scripture

Luke 1:78-79 "Because of the tender mercy of our God, he sends the rising sun out of heaven to give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, and to guide our feet into the path of peace."

Reflection

The Gospel of Luke shows how the Father, out of mercy, bestows the morning sun, bringing us back from the darkness and shadow of death; Haibanming's call reminds us that receiving light is not for self-indulgence and comfort. If we enjoy salvation alone while remaining indifferent to the struggling souls around us, we fail to repay this love. The Great Commission is not only in the distance, but also in our daily lives. May we be wary of spiritual indifference and actively become carriers of the light of Christ's truth and peace.
