Our theme in school this week is Searching.
The scripture is taken from Isaiah 60:1. Isaiah was known for his prophecies concerning Israel, Judah, and the surrounding nations.
This part of the book contains prophecies about a future time of restoration and blessing for Jerusalem. It speaks of a time when God’s light will shine upon the city, drawing nations and kings to its brightness.
This scripture links to the theme of searching through the idea of seeking spiritual enlightenment or guidance. The verse encourages us all to “arise and shine,” suggesting an active movement, a purposeful rising from darkness into light. This can be seen as a metaphor for seeking truth, understanding, or a deeper connection with God.
