A Bright Reality

Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada and have you ever been in a little movie theatre that had no lobby? You know, you paid outside, you walked through the glass doors, then passed through a curtain, and bump up against the back row? When the movie was over, it was quite an adjustment stepping out of the blackness into the blinding glare of the sun. There was no lobby to ease yourself out of darkness and into light. 

Well, 1 Peter chapter 2 says, “We are a people who…declare the praises of him who called us out of darkness and into his wonderful light.” Oh, friend, I hope we never forget what it was like to once be in darkness, then suddenly be in the light the next, translated from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of God’s Son. Truly, what happens to us when we become a new creature in Christ is a wonderful shock; and may the eyes of our heart never get used to – or tired of – the bright and beautiful reality of our life in the Lord.
