Isaiah 9:2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death… I. HOW THIS LIGHT MAY BE APPROPRIATED TO CHRIST. 1. Light is an all-necessary thing. 2. It separates — divides the night from the day. 3. It cheers. 4. Christ stands preeminently glorious as a great light. There is a fulness in Him commensurate with His Divinity; there is a brightness in Him that knows neither change nor diminution. II. THE DESCRIPTION OF PERSONS TO WHOM THIS LIGHT HAS BEEN, OR SHALL BE, REVEALED. 1. In darkness. 2. Walking in darkness. 3. In the shadow of death. (F. G. Crossman.) Parallel Verses KJV: 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. |
