Intro

Hopelessness is a common characteristic of broken people. They have nowhere to turn. They feel they can do nothing to improve their circumstances.

The theme of light shining in darkness is the most powerful message to give to such hopeless people, no matter how black the darkness. In order to shrug off some difficulty, one needs only think of how turning on a light can bring a whole change to some dismal situation. We of course are not this light even in our best moods or modes. The true light comes from God. Jesus Christ is this true light that shines into this dark world. He is the Light that shines in every Christian life.

Text: Isaiah 60:1-5

”Arise, shine; for your light has come, And the glory of the LORD has risen upon you. “For behold, darkness will cover the earth, And deep darkness the peoples; But the LORD will rise upon you, And His glory will appear upon you. “And nations will come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising. “Lift up your eyes round about, and see; They all gather together, they come to you. Your sons will come from afar, And your daughters will be carried in the arms. “Then you will see and be radiant, And your heart will thrill and rejoice; Because the abundance of the sea will be turned to you, The wealth of the nations will come to you. (Isaiah 60:1-5).
