The light brings us into fellowship with each other.
As we walk in the light, we come into fellowship with God and with each other. It’s impossible to have one without the other. This fellowship completes us, perfects us, cleanses us. Three descriptions that point to the same internal reality.
“but if we walk in the light as he himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.” - 1 John 1:7
Notice how this description of clean or pure differs from the descriptions championed by the racial, ethnic, cultural or nationalistic supremacists and separatist. They use purity as way to build boundaries to divide and separate us. Whereas walking in the light brings us together.
When we act justly proactively seeking the wellbeing of others, when we are merciful practicing empathy, understanding, and forgiveness, when we walk humbly living by the light of our understanding respecting others as they do the same, everything about us and the world is transformed.
Peace be with you.
