♥ Light And Darkness!

I am the light of the world. He who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life. -John 8:12

In the depths of the African jungle a missionary and his assistant visited a heathen village. It was not only reputed for its marked cult of idolatry; it also housed a seminary for sorcerers, whose novices were taught illegal practices that were by all accounts dangerous.

The two witnesses of the Gospel were not   deterred by that. They felt that they had the commission to bring the good news of JESUS CHRIST to the village chieftain. The blacks all listened to the missionary, and when he had finished his preaching, the chieftain spoke up saying: You have said that you are bringing light, because we are in darkness. The last thing we want is light so that people can see what we are up to. We feel perfectly well in the darkness and want to remain in it. Another member of the tribe declared, I endorse the words of our chief. A third speaker added, We are too old to change our ways. The fourth made the excuse, We are too stupid anyway. And the fifth person said, Let's wait.

Then two young people of about fifteen years of age jumped up and shouted, We have had enough of darkness. We long for light and salvation.

With YOU is the fountain of life; in YOUR light we see light. -Psalm 36:9

Send out your light and YOUR truth! Let them lead me. - Psalm 43:3
