“Arise, shine; for thy light is come,
and the glory of the Lord is risen upon
thee.”
(Isaiah 60:1)
Famed eighteenth century composer, Wolfgang
Amadeus Mozart, revered the work of Handel, particularly “Messiah.” In 1789 he was asked to re-orchestrate
Handel’s great work, doing so as a complement to the man whose music he said, “strikes like a thunderbolt.”
Indeed, the light of Christ strikes the
darkness like a thunderbolt. Glory to
God!
Prayer: Light of the World, shine in and
through us this day. Amen.
Jim
Abernathy
