2 Chronicles 5:1-6:11; Ezekiel 29:1-30:19; John 11:1-27
Light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light. John 3:19
The striking contrast between darkness and light was exemplified when Jesus came into this dark world. Men hated Him because the light of His presence exposed their evil deeds. Paul reminds the Ephesians that they too were once in darkness, but now are light in the Lord. He then challenges them, and us, to “walk as children of light” (Eph. 5:8). Is this being clearly demonstrated in each of our lives? God help us to “show forth the praises of him who hath called
you out of darkness into his marvelous light” (1 Pet. 2:9). —E. V.
The whole world was lost in the darkness of sin,
The light of the world is Jesus. —Philip P. Bliss
