Holy Fire

Fire symbolizes multiple aspects of God. It is mysterious.  It is dangerous – one approaches with respect and caution! At the same time, it provides warmth and light, guiding one’s way through the dark. It is powerful. Thus Jesus said, “I am the light of the world” (John 8:12) and said he would baptize with fire, which is what happened on Pentecost. Reflecting about all this gives us a fuller understanding of God and can inspire our appropriate response to God.
