Christ an Unsetting Light
John 8:12-20
Then spoke Jesus again to them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that follows me shall not walk in darkness…


It seems to thee, suppose, that thou must follow the sun, and thou also travellest thyself towards the west, whither it also travels; let us see after it has set, if thou wilt not walk in darkness. See, how, although thou art not willing to desert it, yet it will desert thee. But the Lord Jesus is a sun which never sets: if thou wilt not fall off from Him He will not fall off from thee.

( Augustine.)
