Genesis 26:1-35; Job 32:1-33:33; Matthew 13:44-14:12
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. John 1:5
My son saw I was struggling to examine something small in a poorly lit basement room. As he reached for a flashlight, I explained that it would not help me see the object more clearly. He just smiled, as he turned off all the lights, waited for a moment and then shone only the flashlight. It seemed as bright as the noonday sun! Are you discouraged at how dark the world is getting? Take comfort in this: the darker this world grows, the brighter the Light glows! —Lynn Shatford
The whole world was lost in the darkness of sin,
The Light of the world is Jesus!
Like sunshine at noonday, His glory shone in;
The Light of the world is Jesus! —Philip P. Bliss
