The Light above the brightess of the sun

Acts 26:13 - 18 :
"At midday, on the way, I saw, O king, a light above the brightness of the
sun, shining from heaven round about me and those who were journeying with
me. And, when we had all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me
in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for
you to kick against the goads. And I said, who art thou Lord? And the Lord
said, I am Jesus, whom thou persecutest, but rise up and stand on thy feet;
for , for this purpose have I appeared unto thee, to appoint you to be a
servant and a witness both of what thou hast seen, and of what I shall
appear to thee in, taking thee out from among the people, and the nations,
to whom I send thee, to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to
light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive the
remittance of sins and inheritance among them that are sanctified by faith
in me"

Oh Christian, be humble, be thankful. The light that shines brighter that
the brightest noonday sun has shined upon you. The light so bright it cannot
be hidden. He has caused the dungeon of darkness we have been groping about
to flame with light. The all revealing light has shown us our depraved
state, our fallen and hopeless state. Can we withstand the omniscient
Judge's gaze of righteousness? Nay, we must bow in contrition and
confession. Thank God, He HIMSELF has brought us into light, and has
justified, even sanctified us in Himself. We can now stand in the light, and
like the burning bush that does not consume, we are not consumed.
Thank God also, that satan's rule over us is over, we now have a Master
whose 'yoke is easy, and burden is light' (Mt 11:29-39), whose 'mercies are
great'.
(Ps 119:156)
Give thanks to God, for He has given us His Word, the bible, which is a
'lamp unto our feet, and a light unto our path' (Ps 119:105). The Sun of
Righteousness, guides us along our pilgrimage as we await the dawn of
endless day.

Turn not back to darkness, seek no pleasure in the shadows of sin, put on
the armour of light (Rom 13:12), and fix your eyes upon the author and
perfector of our salvation.
