Turn the Light On
Luke 1:79 To give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, To guide our feet into the way of peace.
God is light. Light will dis-spell darkness, for the two cannot coexist. Darkness here is thought of as those eternally lost, living in the shadow of Satan’s eternal damnation without finding the eternal Light. Something as simple as the lights we turn on every night to light our path, are an example of what God has done for us. We are truly lost stumbling around in the darkness without finding the Way, and lighting our path. Experiment with it yourself one night. That is the representation of your life without Christ.
But with finding the Light, comes a peace that surpasses all understanding. If I were to ask to describe my “religion” in one word, it would be Peace. Salvation brings something that this crazy world in no way can provide. No self help program, no material possession, no book, can provide an indescribable feeling of security that Christ will give you. Once your eternity is set, things here become trivial, and your only focus is to want to share the Good News you possess with others.
