Light In The Darkness

Isaiah 8-10; Hebrews 8

“…but in the future he will honor Galilee of the Gentiles, by the way of the sea, along the Jordan – The people walking in darkness have seen a great light;…Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end…”

Isaiah 9:1, 2, 7

Jesus grew up and ministered in ‘Galilee of the Gentiles’, a mixed race region with many Gentiles and some Jews. The light he brought was the knowledge of salvation and freedom from the darkness of sin and death. Christ’s kingdom is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit within that is then expressed through Christ’s kingdom citizens to the world around them. Of the increase of this kingdom and peace there will be no end.

Are we growing in righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit?

Jesus lived this light in a dark place, and so can we. The light of Christ’s presence and peace within us will transform and overcome the darkness around us, no matter where we live!

“Lord Jesus, you are the light. I yield to you and your Spirit, for your glory.”
