    We have been brought out of darkness to show forth the glory of God.

    I opened the last chapter describing the watershed interaction between Jesus and his disciples, which culminated in Peter’s confession of Jesus as the Messiah, the Son of the living God. In a similar manner God and his people, the Israelites, had a watershed experience in which their ...read more

    The promise and hope of our darkness being turned into light, our blindness into sight.

    Ann Landers wrote this story in The Washington Post: “Mrs. Smith was stark-naked and just about to step into the shower when the doorbell rang. She hollered, ‘Who is it?’ He shouted back, ‘It’s the blind man.’ She figured it was safe, so she opened the door. He looked at her in shock and ...read more

    You are the light of the world. As you live out this goodness visibly in front of the people of the world, your life will point them to Jesus where they too can find life that is real life.

    Opening illustration: Robert Lewis Stevenson, peering out of the window saw a workman come by and light the gas lights along the street. When asked what he was watching, the young boy said, “I see a man making holes in the darkness.” Let us turn to Matthew 5 and see how we as believers can make ...read more

    This continues in my expository series through the book of Acts.

    The metaphors of darkness and light are widely used in the world of literature. Dylan Thomas wrote, “Do not go gentle into that good night; rage, rage against the dying of the light.” One of the most often repeated image patterns in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet involves the interplay of light ...read more

    What we’re trying to do is push back the darkness.

    So, Matthew says that, “when Jesus heard that John [the Baptist] had been arrested, he withdrew….” What does that tell us? It tells us – doesn’t it? – that there is a force of darkness at work in this world. And we know what that means, of course. It means there ...read more

    Blinded By Darkness

    Contributed by Mike Reed on Jul 4, 2014
     | 9,526 views

    We commonly associate temporary blindness with bright light, such as looking directly into the sun. It seems strange, then, to read a scripture which tells us that we can be blinded by the darkness! Darkness makes the eyes more alert, more receptive.

    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.

    Mark 10:51-52 (NIV) 51 “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him. The blind man said, “Rabbi, I want to see.” 52 “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road. Here we ...read more
