, THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD-..
Never have such claims been made, be-'
fore or since. Jesus said that He was
the door, the bread of life, the truth,
the light of the world, the Savior of all
"men. This is language befitting only
God#
For nearly two thousand years the
world has been both haunted & inspired
by these claims. Millions have dismiss
ed them as the 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 has un
loosed a technology which can destroy
the earth or rebuild it. The • answer
lies with man himself# 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 shine up^
on arty man who does not pull thp 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
(Continued next column)
^ will enter in,, anci when He enters a new
-and* strange light will flood your soul#
Long years ago sdme'hillside shep -
herds let Him in, .and a few fishermen cn
the Sea of Galilee# They carried His
message to the world, and a whole era
opened for life on the earth#
In every age the path of light foll
ows the same route# It must first
shine on your heart and mine# The rad
iance in one person can become a chain
,reaction of light, until a darkness of
a age begins to lift and a whole new
day dawns. Pray and work that this may
, be the prospect for our own weary,wait
ing world in 1962#
