“The people that walked in darkness have
seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death,
upon them hath the light shined.”
(Isaiah 9:2)
(Isaiah 9:2)
Roger Bullard’s commentary on this text,
sung by the bass soloist, highlights the dichotomy between darkness and
light. He writes, “The music is painful; it gropes. It moves
hesitantly, like one reaching about in the darkness. But all this ends with
solid footing finally found: ‘upon them hath the light shined.’”
Jesus described himself and those who would follow him as the light of the world. Darkness is defeated!
Prayer: Help us Lord to step out of the
darkness into the glorious light of Christ.
Amen.
