Question of the Week:

What will I do this week to manifest the presence of Christ in me to others?

When Isaiah proclaimed the words we hear today, God’s chosen people had just returned to Judah after sixty years of exile in Babylon. The city of Jerusalem was in ruins, the temple had been destroyed, and many of its families had not survived or were still lost. Picture the devastation after a city or region is heavily bombed during a war. “Rise up in splendor,” was aspirational at best, unimaginable to most (Isaiah 60:1). Yet Isaiah insists that Jerusalem’s light was not only possible, but had already come. Isaiah was able to see God’s glory amidst destruction and squalor, as the shepherds and magi could see a king and Messiah in a wooden trough, as we are challenged to see peace, justice, and hope in a world with wars, injustices, and despair. We can choose to try to see through God’s eyes, as Isaiah and the magi did.
