Mathew 4:15-16 land of Zebulun and Naphtali,the way to the sea, along the the Jordan ,Galilee of the Gentiles. The people walking in darkness have seen a great light ,on those living in the land of the shadow of death,a light has dawned<\/p>\n
The birth of Jesus is illustrated as the dawning of a day.Before his birth,Israelites and the Gentiles were all living in darkness trying to find way to their future.
\nBut a message of hope and relief is given to these dwellers that by the birth of Christ ,great light and dawn of a new era was available.<\/p>\n
That is exactly who we were before the birth of Christ in our lives and it is to those who haven’t appreciated this gift of God.<\/p>\n
The days of grappling in darkness, living in the shadows of death ,spiritual blindness , prisoners of sin and devil’s attacks are over .Why? To us, the light of the world that illuminates the entire universe has come .He is the wonderful counsellor and the prince of peace!<\/p>\n
The people walking in darkness have seen a great light – Hallelujah!<\/p>\n
