For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,”
made his light shine in our hearts to give us
the light of the knowledge of God’s glory
displayed in the face of Christ.
2 Corinthians 4:6 (TNIV)
made his light shine in our hearts to give us
the light of the knowledge of God’s glory
displayed in the face of Christ.
2 Corinthians 4:6 (TNIV)

Lightly, we say, "There's a light at the end of the tunnel."
And someone jokingly adds, "Hope it's not the train."
Reading the verse above, God said, "Let light shine out of darkness." Until we came to know God's Son, Jesus Christ, our hearts were dark. At that paramount moment when we saw the Light in Jesus' face, then did our hearts come out of the darkness and begin to reside in the Light.
What a joyous moment indeed!
Great image for that verse. Sometimes it seems as if it was just like that. Thanks for linking to The Sunday Community!
ReplyDeleteI love linking up with The Sunday Community -- so many wonderfully rich posts to read. Glad you thought the image and the verse went well together too. :)
DeleteOne of my favorite "Light" understandings is that it just takes a small tiny "dot" of light, and darkness becomes the loser. What a blessing to know in our dark family issues and worldly struggles. I circle that word in my Bible... hundreds of them. Always catches my attention. Always reminds me of Who is in charge eternally.
ReplyDeleteLoved your words, "it just takes a small tiny 'dot' of light, and darkness becomes the lower." Powerful! Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteAmazing picture. So thankful for the Light in me...and I want to be faithful to share the Light with others.
ReplyDeletePamela, thanks for coming by! Isn't it wonderful to know the Light is in us and we get to share it?
DeleteLovely picture and great pairing with text, too, Sherry! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteDiana, thanks for your gracious words and for stopping by.
DeleteThat picture is awesome.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it -- I'm finding Flickr to be a great source of images. Not much of a photographer myself. :)
DeleteLight in the darkness...
DeleteSuch a wonderful description of Jesus Christ, and His ministry.
Such a wonderful description of our calling...
Joe, your words have brought me great joy! To know that someone saw what I hoped would be seen in my writing. Thank you, my friend.
DeleteI am so thankful for His light, illuminated to my heart by His Word! Have a beautiful week!
ReplyDeleteBarbie, I know your days are jam packed lately, so your making it here to leave such gracious and sweet words is a bonus for me. Have a beautiful week yourself!
DeleteSherrey, "he light at the end of the tunnel" is the truest metaphor. We are in the darkest tunnel until we meet the Light head on and are embraced by Him, and baptized in Him, who is pure Light.
ReplyDeleteSuch a message, friend!
Oh, what happened to my "T" in "The?"
Delete* The light at the end of the tunnel *
Debra, I knew you meant for a "T" to be in there, and just smiled thinking of how often I type too fast. :) Thanks for stopping by and leaving such encouragement for my writing and thoughts.
DeleteNice to meet ya! I'm lovin' this Sunday Community.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing that when light comes into (the room, our hearts, our minds) the darkness flees. It has to.
And nice to meet you! Glad that you stopped by and took the time to comment.
