Christ is the Light of the Christian Life

On 13 January 2013, the Sunday after the Baptism of the Lord, the Gospel fragment on the Beginning of the Lord’s Preaching was read in all Orthodox churches. In the sermon delivered in the chapel of “Saint Gregory the Enlightener” of the Patriarchal Residence, His Beatitude Daniel, Patriarch of the Romanian Orthodox Church, emphasised the teaching of the evangelical pericope scheduled for this Sunday. Christ is the Light of the world, the Light of the universe and especially of the Christian life His Beatitude showed that till Christ, the Jewish people had not seen the divine revelation, but once Christ, the Saviour, arrived the Son of God, the Light was total direct, with no intercessors whatsoever .
