Luke 1:78 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high has visited us, I have read that near the North Pole, the night lasting for months and months, when the people expect the day is about to dawn, some messengers go up on the highest point to watch; and when they see the first streak of day they put on their brightest possible apparel, and embrace each other and cry, " Behold the sun!" and the cry goes through all the land, "Behold the sun!" Some of you have been trudging on in the darkness of sin. It has been a long and wearisome night for your soul; but now I cry, "Behold the Sun of Righteousness rising with healing in His wings!" or, to quote from the chapter that I read at the beginning, "The Dayspring from on high hath visited us to give light to them that are in darkness." Behold the sun! Behold the sun! Would God that every blinded eye might now see it! (Dr. Talmage.)
