1 John 1:5-7
This is the message we have heard from Him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in Him is no
darkness at all. 6 If we say we have fellowship with Him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not
practice the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one
another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.
O what if I had not believed! I am by faith assured That in the land of life I'll see the goodness of the Lord.
Two people can look at the same cloud and see two very different images. Likewise, two people can hear of Christ and come to two drastically different conclusions about him. One sees a lunatic or just a good man, while another will come to know the Creator and Redeemer of the world. Again, when looking at the world around us one may see a circular despair and conclude that God is powerless, while another will see the Lord's goodness in all of providential history (including brain injuries and broken bank accounts). As we sing today will you see light and hope? More to the point, will you remember these passages and songs when you struggle with relationships, impatience, anger, and your own sin? Will we walk in light by faith, practicing a living truth? Or will we stumble around in the dead of darkness? —Nathan
