THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD ' . 0 - .
Never had such claims been made, be
fore or since. Jesus said that He wa.s
the door, the bread of life, the truth,
the light of the world, the Savior of all
men. This is languagd befitting only God*
For nearly two thousand years the world
has been both haunted and inspred by these
claims. Millions have dismissed them'-as '
extravagant words of a dreamer* Hundreds
of millions have found them the words of
life. They have known Jesus of Nazareth
as the Christ, the Light of the-world*;.
These are dark days. • We wonder .wheth •
er the long night is about to fall, or a
new day is about to dawn. Man ha’s unloos
ed a technology which can destroy the
earth or rebuild it. The answer lies with
man 'himselfK[ And the answer he gives will
depend .altogether upon his willingness to
follow the light that is given him. This
light is Jesus Christ. There is no other
prophet or Savior equal to the task.
Fortunately/ the light will shine upon
any man who does not pull the shades . and
shut it out. ' The vast masses of the world
may choose darkness., but'the man who wants
it may have it* If you-but unlock the '
door of your heart, Jesus will enter in,.,
and when He enters a new- and strange light
will flood your life
(Continued next column.)
In every age the path of light fol
lows the same route* It must first
shine in your heart and mine* The rad
iance in one person can become a chain
reaction of light, until the darkness
of an age begins to lift and a whole
new day dawns* Pray and work that this
may be the prospect for our own world.
