Arise - Istifanus Sarki




I see a thousand people chained on hands and feet, without food or water, hopeless and bound for a thousand years in a tunnel. And then a bright light appeared suddenly, shinning into the tunnel. And a voice is heard:

Arise, shine, for your light is come!

The people who have long lost their hopes suddenly see hope beckoning on them and they, one after the other, step out of the tunnel, and are transformed by the light into the light. They all march forward to the other closed tunnels, and open them, bearing the light of Christ of which they are. Thus, each one save a thousand, liberation is multiplied, hope restored.
