In Christ Jesus is life, and that life is the light of all. His light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it. So, we join our hearts as our choir sings the ancient words, “Break forth, O beauteous, heavenly Light, to herald our salvation!”
Light Where They Lived
December 3, 2023 • Gerrit Dawson • Exodus 10:21–23
It’s essential that we understand two things. One, our distinctiveness. Two, our mission. All of humanity lives plagued with darkness. We cannot see clearly who God is. We grope and stumble and sometimes do terrible things in the dark. But God has ever been calling his people out of darkness and into his marvelous light (I Peter 2:8). That makes us different. There is light where the people of God live.
The way things are is not how they have always been. There was light before the sun. The way things are is not how they always will be. There will be light after the sun. And so right now comes the liberating truth. The LORD is your everlasting light. He longs to give you spiritual light so you can see, in your heart of hearts, his everlasting love and know him as your loving God.
