Dear Brothers and Sisters,

As we see the great and startling news stories of our day and the weakness and dullness of our own lives, we often tempted to fear and despair. However, we must always remember that the greatest problems in the world are light problems. They all stem from a hatred of the light of Jesus Christ. People love the darkness and as a result it seems there is no hope But what we often miss is that nothing can overcome the light of Jesus Christ. He is an everlasting light and because of this we should never despair.

 The central message of Isaiah 60 is the everlasting power and practical beauty of the works of God’s Son – the light of the world. This Sunday we will focus on Isaiah 60:15-22, where the prophet continues describing the many blessings of His light upon church in the era of the new covenant. Why would God do these things for His people? Why would He bring such benefit to the church? The answer is that He wanted to prove something, “You shall know that I, the Lord, am your Savior And your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob (60:16b). Each verse in our section brings identifies the ways of God’s preferential love toward His people. And what is the final purpose of it all? “Everlasting light,” in order “that I may be glorified.”
