Isaiah 9:2 "The people who walked in darkness have seen a great Light; Those who dwelt in the land of intense darkness and the shadow of death, upon them has the light shined."
Isaiah 42:6 "I, the Lord, have called You (the Messiah) for a righteous purpose and in righteousness. I will take You by the hand and will keep You; I will give You for a covenant to the people (Israel) for a light to the nations (Gentiles."
"The Light of the World is Jesus"
We all walk in darkness, in the persistant shadow of death, eternal death, until Your Light, Jesus sihines upon us. I praise You Lord, and I am ever so grateful that the Light of Jesus' love, forgiveness, and eternal life, is not exclusively for Your people, the Jews.
You sent Your Light into the dark world for a righteous purpose, to give Christ's righteousness to us, even through we are so unworthy.
When we believe and accept His gift of redemption and forgiveness, His Light shines on us and in us. And You expect that we allow it to sihne through us so others who are still in darkeness can be born into the light, and walk in the Light.
