A Light In The Darkness

Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Jan 3, 2019

What do you do when you walk into a dark room? You reach for the light switch, right?

Bartimaeus has been born blind. In THOSE earlier times if you were BORN blind, you'll die blind, without the prospect of being cured. The ONLY thing THIS man could do well, was being a beggar. THEN, Jesus walked into his life and changed it forever.

A Light In The Darkness

Contributed by Ian Hyde on Mar 29, 2019

The beautiful truth of Christ's mission is that God was not just content to contain darkness or to hold it at bay for a while. Instead, he pierced the heart of it and conquered it on our behalf.

INTRODUCTION The passage just read is probably one of my favorite Christmas passages from one of my favorite books of the Bible.

Then he became a Christian, and spent much of his life explaining that a lot of seances he’d been part of (he said) were fake… but ...read more
