The people who sat in darkness

"The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, And upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death Light has dawned” (‭Matthew‬ ‭4‬:‭16‬ NKJV). Darkness has had its way through this earth into many organizations, governments, homes, and lives. It will not stop unless there is Light. Jesus Christ came into this world to serve each and everyone of us and to bring us all out of darkness. The only way darkness will flee is when the light is turned on. Are we tired of the darkness that runs rapid in our streets, schools, workplaces, and homes? Are we tired yet of seeing and hearing the news that is filled with violence and murder, which comes through darkness? It's time, church of Christ, for every believer to stand against the darkness, just as Jesus showed us through the Gospels and the epistles. It's time to come together under one faith in Jesus Christ and His finished work at the cross, in unity with prayer and fasting against the darkness that has made its way so easily into this world. This is not about prosperity, nor is it about receiving a blessing, but this is about the arising of a generation who needs to know the true Light of Jesus Christ. The first place our Lord Jesus went to was a place where people were bound in darkness. Where darkness is, the shadow of death is there along with it. The babies of this world need to see Jesus Christ. However, His reflection of holiness, love, grace, and mercy can only be reflected through you and I, the church. Let us not waste time. God bless you. Amen
