J.A. Matteson
Revelation, inspiration, perception, understanding, awareness, these things are dependent upon the Word of Life and the light of His glory, filling that which was darkness, dispersing blindness with the dazzling clarity of faith. "God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all" (1 Jn. 1:5). To believe in Him is to be in Him. To be in Him is to be enveloped in the brilliant glory of His presence, perfect light, peace, contentment. Concern, confusion, restless anxiety are of the darkness, but the perfect Light of Christ disperses all things contrary to His Person so that all who have fellowship with the Father through Him might abide in the Light of Peace. And the Light is eternal, self-sustaining, above all, through all, and in all who He is pleased to call His brethren. In the world darkness advances, but in Christ we are more than conquerors through Him who loves us, having called us out of darkness into the joy of His eternal Light. Rejoice, therefore, in Christ Jesus, the Light of the World.
