ALL OF US know how much comfort and reassuring light can be in certain situations…
Think of the child in the nursery. Light affords a degree of security and comfort.
Think of the patient who suffers though the long, dark night. How often he or she will pray for the dawn and coming of day.
“The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles: The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death Light has dawned.” Matthew 4:15-16
THOUGHT: Here is a picture of Christ coming and offering a ray of hope. Yes, He is the light of the world. J. Winfred Clark in Expositions of “The Expositor,” 251
