“He has delivered us from the dominion of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities – all things were created through him and for him.”
Paul to the Church at Colossae (Colossians 1:13-16)
Paul on trial before Agrippa (Acts 26), as pictured by Nikolai Bodarevsky, 1875.
We who are in Christ live in a great day. We have been transferred by the blood of Jesus from darkness to light. We have endless opportunities to share the love of Jesus in a time and place that needs it. We are blessed!!! Walk in that blessing today!

Yes! As you said, we need to “walk in that blessing” – that is, share the love of Jesus at this time, in this place. At the moment, it’s legal in the US, but there is no guarantee for tomorrow. We should take advantage of our freedoms while we have them.

True. “Legal in the U.S.”
also a great reminder. I am a workplace chaplain so in some ways a public witness can become normalized, but there is no guarantee that these freedoms will last.
