you may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a

5:16)
A
Light In Darkness
By
Tom Moore
An
artist created a painting of a wintry twilight. The trees were barren
and laden with snow while a dreary-looking house stood desolate in
the midst of the drifted field. It was a bleak and depressing
picture. Then the artist took some yellow paint and with a few quick
strokes painted a candle glowing in one of the windows of that home.
The effect was almost magical. Just one little light and the entire
scene was transformed into a vision of comfort and cheer.
The
prophet Isaiah looked at his own country and recognized a need for
comfort and cheer. He saw the spiritual darkness that enveloped many
parts of his nation, especially in the north around the Sea of
Galilee. This area had been conquered by the Syrian king Ben-Hadad (1
Kings 15:20) and became a melting pot of Jews and Gentiles. A mixture
of Judaism and paganism became the dominant religion. The situation
looked hopeless, but even into this stronghold of darkness and
spiritual death, Isaiah saw a light break forth, "The people who
walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in the
land of the shadow of death, upon them a light has shined" (Isa.
9:2). Centuries later, when the apostles began to preach concerning
the Christ's church, this area saw many become Christians (Acts 8).
Indeed, the light of Christ's redemption shone brightly.
The
light of Christ makes a difference in your life. In the darkness of
sin, you can find the light of His forgiveness. In the darkness of
ignorance, His wisdom illumines the way. In the darkness of trials
and trouble, His presence dispels the blackness. Whatever darkness
threatens to overshadow your life, let Jesus be the light who drives
it away. Jesus is the light of the world (John 9:5). Jesus said, "I
am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the
Father, but by me" (John 14:6). "He that believeth and is
baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieveth shall be condemned"
(Mark 16:16).

About It!
