Title: Great Light/Isaiah 9:2
Contents
Introduction: “The people who walked in darkness saw a great light and went to the land of the shadow of death.
A great light shines upon those who dwell.” God said the prophet
The glory revealed through
It was a harbinger of glory.
1. It shines on the people living in darkness.
The tribes of Zebulun and Naphtali are geographically located in one corner.
As a result, they did not see the light and were always victims of foreign invasion
It was a room.
Spiritually, they were a hundred people living in darkness, not knowing God
they are castles He shines a great light so that they may know God.
There will be no greater blessing than the light of the people who live in
They who used to be, now enjoy peace.
2. It shines on those who live in shaded areas.
The borders of the tribes of Zebulun and Naphtali are also located in the high north of Mount Hermon.
It can be said that it is a shady land because of this
He was despised by the people of other regions. These disrespectful people are the shade
While moaning in a dark place, a large light shines so that the shadow becomes bright.
I'm just thankful that I'm drunk. Zebulun in southern Galilee, Naphtali in northern Galilee
Lily is the Sea of Galilee beach. This place is especially crowded with foreigners.
(雜居), I have heard the saying "Galilee of the Gentiles".
3. The Presence of Christ as the Great Light
Jesus is the light of life, the light that shines on the world, the sun of righteousness
sour. As introduced in Matthew 4:12-17, Jesus
So when he left home physically, he left Nazareth, and Zebulun and Naphtali
The historical background of living in Gabinaum on Jigyeong Beach is this
tells
The people of that town (that is, they teach everyone in the world)
) Jesus, who has been the light of life as a people who sat in darkness until now,
Because he moved there, he saw a great light, and the land of death and its
Life came to be given to those who sat on the throne. Jesus Christ is
You become light and life.
Conclusion: The age in which Jesus was born was a particularly dark age.
Those who groaned in the midst of ignorance and vice, superstition and violence, fanaticism, distrust, and war.
It is a wonderful blessing beyond measure. But "the light in the darkness
The light was shining, and the darkness did not understand” (John 1:1-13).
