Listen from:
The famous Eddystone Lighouse stood on the coast of England for many years warning mariners of the deadly rocks along the shore and pointing the way to the safety of the harbor nearby. Many a sailor had cause to thank God for the faithful lamp of the lighthouse as the ship steered clear of danger and sure destruction and sailed in safety on its way.
Inscribed on the Eddystone Lighouse were the words:
“To give light and to save life.”
How beautifully do these words describe the coming of the Lord Jesus into this world. He came to save sinners. “In Him was life; and the life was the light of men.” John 1:44In him was life; and the life was the light of men. (John 1:4).
“I am the light of the world: he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” John 8:1212Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. (John 8:12). 7,-7
“Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?” Luke 12:66Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? (Luke 12:6)
