Christ is illumined, let us shine forth with Him

"Christ is illumined, let us shine forth with Him. Christ is baptized, let 
us descend with Him that we may also ascend with Him. Jesus is baptized; 
but we must attentively consider not only this but also some other points. 
Who is He, and by whom is He baptized, and at what time? He is the 
All-pure; and He is baptized by John; and the time is the beginning of His 
miracles. What are we to learn and to be taught by this? To purify 
ourselves first; to be lowly minded; and to preach only in maturity both of 
spiritual and bodily stature."

St. Gregory Nazianzen, Oration 39 on the Holy Lights

"Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive 
with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls."  James 1:21

Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
