Whoever follows me will never walk in
darkness but will have the light of life.
John 8:12
In recent days, our country seems to be shadowed by events that are mind-boggling.
In eastern North Carolina, we have witnessed rising waters and floods. People’s lives
have been devastated by the amount of water in our streets and our homes. The
current election season has placed questions in many minds about the future. We hear of
wars and rumors of wars. There seems to be a prevalent darkness over our hope.
A recent trip to the country of Armenia and the area of Nagorno-Karabakh helped
me to interpret this darkness and the way that Jesus shines light upon our darkened lives
and gives us hope. Along with five others, I served with Project Agape, a mission of
the two North Carolina conferences of The United Methodist Church. Armenia is the
first country in the world to claim Christianity as its national religion. It is surrounded
by countries who, over the centuries, have initiated conflict and diminished the size
of Armenia’s land by pushing their borders in upon them. It is a country where the
darkness of war and tragedy has attempted to reign supreme. Countless bombed-out
homes, churches, and monasteries fill the landscape. Many people are hungry and in
need. Yet, in the midst of that darkness, the church has stood and proclaimed the light
of the world for centuries.
During my time in Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh, I walked the darkened halls of
holy spaces nearly every day. As I did, I listened to my heart and I imagined listening
to the hearts of those who walked there long before me and I looked for signs and
wonders. 1 looked for light and hope among the darkness, and 1 found it. I saw the light
breaking through the windows of darkened sanctuaries. Along with others, I lit candles
in the sanctuaries as light pushed the darkness to the corners of the room. I sensed
and smelled the incense as the priest shared that wonderful fragrance with us. As light
filtered in, I heard the words of Jesus, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me
will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.” I observed a white dove as it
peered toward Turkey and Mount Ararat, the traditional resting place of Noah’s ark, and
at the same time, continued to keep watch over the people of Armenia.
Today, I cherish a tapestry fashioned by an eleven year-old girl Armenian girl. It
is an image of a.church surrounded by darkness. In that image, the church, the body
of Christ, is the light that shines in the darkness. And I remember the hope and the
promise that Jesus brings. Perhaps this is how the light of the world sneaks in - through
the church and her faithful people, not only in Armenia, but in our country as well.
