When we were in Europe driving around, one of the things that I was very aware of was the many tunnels that we had to drive through. Initially we had a contest of holding our breath as we drove through, but realized that we had to give up on that one after we drove a number of miles through some of them. I was very conscious of how we would move from the light and into the darkness and constriction of the tunnel. The reason that we kept on driving in our direction is that we anticipated the tunnel ending. We assumed that eventually we would come out of it and continue on the road again.
Many people are in the midst of their tunnels right now.
There is little light about them and they do not know when, or even if, it will end. For those of us who have entered into the light of Christ, we have a calling. We are to know Christ and to make him known. There are many people searching for hope, searching for healing, searching for a possibility to hear again and to speak.
