Monday April 7th: The Intersection of Faith and Identity

“I am the light of the world,”

John 8:12-20

In the passage where Jesus declares, “I am the light of the world,” he urges us to find clarity amidst confusion, a message that resonates during the political season in Trinidad and Tobago.
As Jesus interacts with skeptical leaders, he emphasizes that faith is about connection rather than strict adherence to rules. This mirrors the importance of forming bonds as a nation, focusing on unity over party lines or ethnic divides.
Jesus invites us to follow him, ensuring we won’t be lost in darkness. Our beliefs shape our identities, much like the outfits we choose, but race and party dynamics can complicate our choices.
Ultimately, this message encourages us to celebrate the connection between faith, identity, and country. As we engage in the electoral process, let’s promote hope and understanding, values that unite us as citizens of Trinidad and Tobago!
