Light shining in. 2nd Corinthians 4:6 “For God who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”
From heaven to earth the command was given: “Let there be light!” came the first quotation in the Bible. It was the voice of our God. There had always been a brilliance called “Shekinah” which is a part of God’s eternal being and the darkness was riven by the word of the Lord. The light began here on earth at the command of the Lord. Again, God spoke and the sun began shining. The moon also reflected the sun’s glory at night. The background of the stars was all aligned in their designated place in the universe each one responding to the Creator who speaks in His might.
On the top of a mountain, God gave commands once again, and the face of His servant Moses reflected His holiness. At the bottom of the mountain against the backdrop of sin, that bright face was covered, hidden from man’s guilt. On another occasion, three witnesses watched as the face of the Savior outshone the sun. Two messengers from heaven talked there with Jesus about the work of redemption that He had yet to accomplish.
At about ten in the evening of February the twelfth, the darkness of my soul was pierced by God’s light. The Spirit of God worked, a messenger was helped to reveal to me the Savior and my mind received sight. The light shone into my soul and revealed clearly to me that God looked at the blood and was perfectly satisfied. I too, looked at Christ, and in faith, I could see that the blood of the Savior was all God required of me. That light is still shining, and I enjoy it to the full, the knowledge of God, as I look at my Lord. I am learning from Him daily, and seeking out His will, the light still shines from the page of His Word.
