Sermons by the Monday Club John 1:9 That was the true Light, which lights every man that comes into the world. How can this be true when there are, and always have been, so many who live on still in darkness? First, it was God's intention that "light" should be all-pervasive, and it does not make that intention untrue if, through the negligence of His people — to whom it was committed to carry it out — it has not yet taken place. The orb of day is not less the "light" to the universe, because you choose to eclipse it with your little hand. Neither is Christ less "the true Light, that lighteth every man that cometh into the world," because they, to whom it was given, have not transmitted its beams. But, evil as things are now, it is impossible to calculate what may be the indirect rays of "light" which have reached, from the gospel, through the whole earth. There is a twilight of truth in almost every superstition and every error. Is that dim twinkle a refraction from the cross? (Sermons by the Monday Club.) Parallel Verses KJV: That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.WEB: The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world. |
