There is a little town in Northern Ireland about 18 mls from Belfast and it's famous for one thing,it has a lighthouse.Lighthouses have always been very important,even now they still important.Most modern lighthouses are not man by people ,technology has taken over.Consider the lives that have been saved by having lighthouses .In ancient days many ships foundered on the rocks because there was no lighthouses.yes the lighthouse beam was a life saver.There is a modern song ,written by Ronnie Hinson and portrays Jesus as being like a lighthouse,one of the verses reads like this,
'And I thank God I owe my life to Him,
Jesus is the lighthouse, and from the rocks of sin,
He has shown a light around me,that I might clearly see,
If it wasn't for the lighthouse,tell me where would
the ship be?'
The second verse in Genesis 1 reads, 'Darkness was over the surface of the deep'we can apply that spiritually ,it appears that there is a darkness over all the world, it is in1 John 5 v19,we read,'that the whole world is under the control of the evil one'.Now that is an awful darkness, very scary, to be under the control of that evil being known as the devil.He blinds people spiritually,he fills people hearts with so many things ,promising them so much that appears good,but he is a liar and the father of lies(John 8 v44) But praise God the Easter message tells of Jesus who came to rescue us and save us from our darkness. yes Jesus is a lighthouse shining brigthly over this world and those who follow Him shall not walk in darkness,but shall have the light of life (John 8 v12)
