Why did he say … he is the Light? (1)

Jesus said,

‘I am the Light of the world’ –

when the blinds on your vision are furled

that Light can enlighten perception and puzzles –

and points to its source in the glory that dazzles –

the glory of God in his power and his purity,

his wisdom and love that perceives all with clarity.

 

But some want to keep blinds opaque all unfurled –

mistakenly think that the Light of the world

will trick them, make miserable, jollity hurled

far away – but whoever lets in this true Light

progresses with joy through this troublesome night.

Inspiring words for a beautifully sunny Sunday, Rhiannon;-)  At least, it is here, but not so for everyone, sadly.

Thanks for posting.

Thank you, Tina. I'm glad you found it so. We too have enjoyed a beautifully sunny day. I managed to persuade my in-laws out into the garden (mobility is difficult, and they tire easily) and they so enjoyed the flowers and the butterflies (on the buddlea and the lavender).
warm regards, Rhiannon

This is lovely, Rhiannon, a beautifully worded message with nice rhymes and half rhymes. 

Enjoyed.

Hello again Rhiannon,

Your religious conviction shines through with this poem and would complement William Holman Hunt's painting The Light of the World.  I think you would like it.

Thank you, Moya.  I think that picture has probably encouraged many to 'open the door' of their hearts and let Christ in to fellowship. Rhiannon
