Quote:
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth… …And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. Gen. 1:1,3
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” Jn. 812
“But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Matt. 8:12
Commentary:
God is the source of light and to follow Jesus means to live in light eternally. Those who don’t want Jesus, now or ever, sadly do not realize that without him, there is no light.
A man at church commented that, at it’s most basic, hell is without the common graces: light, air, water. Horror indeed.
How sad that we who are children of the light, those to whom light is given can choose to walk in darkness. Oh Lord, may we not do that.
