“The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light; they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.” God's light is shining to-day stronger than it ever shone. We have all the light of all the past centering upon this age. We have the great lives of the righteous men and women of the past before us; we have the precepts and promises of God in their fulness; we have all the fulfilled and fulfilling prophecies to feast the mind and give us light. Under these circumstances if we are in the dark it is our own fault. God has provided the light; and if we refuse to walk out into it, we should blame no one but ourselves for the gloom that surrounds us. The beautiful light of the perfect knowledge that Jesus is about to return to earth in person is for every soul in this time. Have you studied the prophecies so as to behold that light and know this cheering truth for yourself? If not, you little dream of what you are losing. Turn to a study of the Book of God, and let it give you the light and joy of the eternal ages that are before the good and the true. If you say that you are not of the true and the good, then turn to the Book anyway, and let it show you that the Lord has made provision for changing your whole course of sin into a life of purity and holiness. There is perfect joy in the light of God's truth. It can be found nowhere else.
