“He is the light-giver; we are to become light-bearers.“
I thought the idea of being a light-bearer was so beautiful that out of curiosity I looked up that term in Hebrew. Guess what the term was? Lucifer. Egads!

The book of Job contains a passage in which one of Job’s comforters says, “Affliction does not come from the dust, nor does trouble sprout from the ground, but man is born to trouble as the sparks fly upward.“ The image is highly poetic. It tells us that each generation can be compared to a stack of cordwood that is placed on the burning embers of the past.
