The Bible, now brightened

It’s National Bible Week in the United States, culminating in the International Day of the Bible this Sunday – so here’s a poem highlighting how the light of Christ brings inspiration and meaning to our reading of the Scriptures.

November 23, 2020

In the void
of misunderstanding

a perfect spark
ignites the darkness
of the Scriptures

once obscured
now inspired

Democrats begin soul-searching – and finger-pointing – after devastating loss

Christ-pure light
reveals the Word
shining significance

into the pages
of our lives.

Inspired by p. 169 of “Miscellaneous Writings 1883-1896” by Mary Baker Eddy.
