ISAIAH 9:2 "The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.When Jesus walked the earth for 33 years, He was convinced that the battle was light versus darkness and all the darkness isn't "out there" somewhere. There is darkness deep in the hearts of men as well. Jesus taught that out of the darkened heart comes thefts, murders, lies, sexual sin and violence. There is but one answer to the culture of darkness: Exposed it to the light. The least amount of light drives back the greatest amount of darkness. Paul says that conversion brings cleansing and renewal. A new person is the expression he used to describe how complete and thorough is the spiritual renewal that comes through the encounter with the living Savior.

Moving from darkness to light is so reassuring and even more so when the darkness is sin and we see the Light - Jesus. Praise God.
