[Songs in the Night - January 2]
For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light. Ephesians 5:8
THE Lord Jesus tells us that if we would be faithful
to the light we must let our light so shine as to
show forth the praises of our Father in heaven.
He
forewarns us that many will not appreciate our good
works, but will say all manner of evil against us falsely,
for his name's sake.
He assures us that the children
of darkness hate the children of light, but he admonishes
that in these experiences we should "rejoice
and be exceeding glad; for great is your reward in
heaven."
Such is the sentiment of the children of the
light that they will rejoice even in persecutions and
in tribulation.
As they let the light, the truth, shine
out, the error will be manifested to those of right
understanding and of noble heart. Z'15-201 R5719:4 (Hymn 275)
