UVC, Sam Coker (Pastoral Intern), 11-29-20, “Treasures of Darkness” (Isaiah 40:1-5, 45:1-7)

This morning, UVC Pastoral Intern Sam Coker reflects on the prophet Isaiah who anticipated destruction and exile yet prophetically claimed a hope for a new way and a new expectation. Through Isaiah’s message of consolation, we are invited to reimagine the ways we think about darkness, the dichotomy of light and dark, and how binary ways of thinking lead to exclusion and division opposed to an inclusive, bold, and relevant love. All of what God has created is good, and in darkness there is beauty, nurture, and life!
