Promises - Light

[Christ4Ever]

For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness. (Psalm 18:28)

The earth is a haven for darkness and the things that lurk and creep. Foul is the world and thick is its shadow. The dim murk of this fallen land threatens all that is living and fair. We would be swallowed and bound in slavery to that dark roiling but that we are become children of light. The Father of Light guides our paths and so our ways become clear. His Son is the Light of the world and the darkness flees from before His glory! Abide in Him, dear believer, and rejoice that you can now see!

[amadeus2]

Without natural light [from the sun] natural plant and animal life would die. Without the Light, which Jesus is, would not the new man would also perish? This is why we are told to eat His flesh and drink His blood.

"Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you." John 6:53
