Eph 5:8 ...you were once darkness but now you are light in the Lord
2Co 4:4 ... the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ ...
Mal 4:2 ...The Sun of Righteousness shall arise...
Joh 1:5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
Mt 13:43 "Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.
As sinners, we are all in a state of darkness. "Darkness" speaks of ignorance, error and sin. Try walking in the dark; you just don't know anything around you (ignorance). You will err and do all kinds of wrong things; you stumble, slip and hit something etcetera (error and sin). As sinners, we are ignorant of God and His ways and we commit all kinds of wrong and we love it so to a point that we can be called "darkness" ourselves!
But the light of the gospel came, the sun of righteousness, the Lord Jesus Christ, has risen to shine its beams on the world, us. If we come out and expose ourselves to Him by faith our whole being will be irradiated with His light, His righteousness will be imputed to us so much so that we ourselves can be called as "light in the Lord." Then we ourselves, who were once darkness "will shine forth as the sun."
My friend, will you come? Will you allow the Light of the world to shine in your heart and shine forth as the sun or Son? Will you come by faith and receive freely the bright beams of righteousness that He offers?
