Matthew 4:16 NASB
The people who were sitting in darkness
saw a great Light,
And those who were sitting
in the land and shadow of death,
Upon them a Light dawned.
Devotional
The inhabitants of Zebulun and Naphtali were in a less favorable position.
▪︎ They lived far from Jerusalem and from the temple.
▪︎ They were most exposed to enemy raids.
▪︎ They were vulnerable to pagan influences.
In short, a nation that sat in the darkness and shadow of death.
▪︎ Isn’t that the image of all of us?
▪︎ Have we not also extinguished the light?
▪︎ Are not God and His service also far beyond our sight?
Precisely in this area the Lord Jesus comes to live!
There He begins His work. Where the darkness is deepest.
Therefore there is hope for those who have strayed far, and sunk in sin.
The Sun of Righteousness has risen.
Come to His light, because He also wants to clear up the darkness in your life.
