Daily Encouragementنموونە

This magnificent epistle of encouragement begins with God speaking in his Son. In him is the full and final revelation. Joseph Parker has provided us with this unforgettable illustration:

Every man knows that the sun is the true light . . . Imagine a dark night and an observer who has never seen the sun: a star suddenly shows itself and the observer hails it with delight; presently the moon shines with all her gentle strength, and the observer says: “This is the fulfillment of the promise; can aught be lovelier, can the sky possibly be brighter?” In due course the sun comes up; every cloud is filled with light; every mountain is crowned with a strange glory; every leaf in the forest is silvered, the sea becomes as burnished brass, and secrecy is chased from the face of the earth: under such a vision, the observer knows that this is the true light - the sovereign, all dominating flame. It is so in the revelation of Jesus Christ. When the eyes of men are opened to see him in all his grace and wisdom and sympathy - in all the sufficiency of His sacrifice and the comfort of His Spirit - the heart is satisfied, and every rival light is lost in the infinite splendor of God the Son.
