While He was in the
world He was its light
And if the scribes
replied to Him with jibes
While Pharisees
would constantly deride
It only proved they
blindly led the blind.
But there were those
who came to Him for sight
And He responded
with power that was divine,
Endowing light He
only could provide.
As He progressed He
gladly turned aside
Since this fulfilled
His Father's full delight,
For with their sight
He also gave them life
Letting His light
perpetually shine
Within their beings
and there annulling night.
"I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness." ~ John 12:46
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful hope we have in Christ Jesus.
What a wonderful world we would have if each of us who have been touch by Christ-- didn't hide the light under a bushel-- but "Letting His light perpetually shine" as you have so nicely stated!
ReplyDeleteMatthew 5: 14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
