Irresistibly drawn to the light

Morning: Psalms 70, 71; Job 28:1-28; Acts 16:25-40

Evening: Psalm 74; John 12:27-36a

Moths are irresistibly drawn to light. Probably by an evolutionary instinct that predates electricity, moths are attracted to starlight. Stars attract us, also, by their beauty and mystery. Imagine this ... the light that telescopes can see from even the nearest galaxy to ours (Andromeda) left there 2.5 million years ago! Starlight is amazing! Jesus said that when he was lifted high, all people would be drawn to him. He meant the Cross, yes, but didn’t he also mean the light of his life and ways, visible in the world? His is a light more irresistible to us than starlight.
