"And
God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the
darkness." --Genesis 1:4
Light might well be good since it sprang
from that fiat of goodness, "Let there be light." We who enjoy it
should be more grateful for it than we are, and see more of God in it and by
it. Light physical is said by Solomon to be sweet, but gospel light is
infinitely more precious, for it reveals eternal things, and ministers to our
immortal natures. When the Holy Spirit gives us spiritual light, and opens our
eyes to behold the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ, we behold sin in
its true colours, and ourselves in our real position; we see the Most Holy God
as He reveals Himself, the plan of mercy as He propounds it, and the world to
come as the Word describes it. Spiritual light has many beams and prismatic
colours, but whether they be knowledge, joy, holiness, or life, all are
divinely good. If the light received be thus good, what must the essential
light be, and how glorious must be the place where He reveals Himself. O Lord,
since light is so good, give us more of it, and more of Thyself, the true
light.
No sooner is there a good thing in the world, than a division is
necessary. Light and darkness have no communion; God has divided them, let us
not confound them. Sons of light must not have fellowship with deeds,
doctrines, or deceits of darkness. The children of the day must be sober,
honest, and bold in their Lord's work, leaving the works of darkness to those
who shall dwell in it for ever. Our Churches should by discipline divide the
light from the darkness, and we should by our distinct separation from the
world do the same. In judgment, in action, in hearing, in teaching, in
association, we must discern between the precious and the vile, and maintain
the great distinction which the Lord made upon the world's first day. O Lord
Jesus, be Thou our light throughout the whole of this day, for Thy light is the
light of men.
