Leviticus 10:1-10; Psalms 111:1-112:10; Mark 2:1-22
And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. Luke 23:44
Three times in Exodus, unnatural darkness signaled judgment. In Egypt (Ex. 10:22), it condemned the world’s corruption. At the Red Sea (Ex. 14:20), it marked Pharaoh’s downfall — foreshadowing Satan’s defeat. At Sinai (Ex. 20:21), it revealed the Law’s demand, exposing the flesh. Each brought death: Egypt’s firstborn, Pharaoh’s army, and the sinner under the Law. Then came Calvary. As Christ entered the darkness, He bore judgment for all — conquering the world, the devil, and the flesh. His death meant light for me. —Hanniel Ghezzi
‘Midst the darkness, storm, and sorrow, one bright gleam I see;
Well I know the blessed morrow, Christ will come for me. —G. Tersteegen
One of the best contributions of recent years – well thought out.
