Commentary by Rudi Sanchez:
"Through the light metaphor, the prophet Isaiah invites Zion’s people to shine with the gospel of salvation. “Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you” (Isa 60:1). Light is a symbol of salvation (Psalm 27:1). Through the double imperative the prophet exhorts to an action: arise and shine. Nowadays, people live in fear. In this pandemic, people are walking in darkness and dwell in the land of the shadow of death (Isa 9:2). They need to know that is possible to overcome the fear of death. God’s people are invited to proclaim that a new day is dawning. Arise! Jesus started His ministry in the context of the light metaphor. “The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death light has dawned” (Matt. 4:16). Immediately, Matthew reports that Jesus began His ministry: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matt. 4:17). Jesus is the light of the world (John 8:12) who brings liberation from any kind of darkness. This is the message that we need to proclaim. “Shine” is an exhortation to Jesus’ disciples to share the light of salvation to others. Jesus said: “You are the light of the world” (Matt. 5:4), therefore, “shine before men” (Matt. 5:16). The apostle Paul also encourages us to “shine as lights in the world” (Phil 2:15). Proclaim the light of salvation with a heart free of darkness. Don’t allow your light to burn dim!" Rudi Sanchez
