The Word of God uses language the world does not always understand. It uses signs and symbols. It speaks of darkness and light, of the day and the night; of the day now as a day of grace and opportunity; of the night as moral darkness.
It also tells of a coming night of despair, and of the day of glory that will come to the children of God. Only in God's holy Word do we learn the way "out of darkness into His marvelous light." There is only one way out of that night, out of that darkness, and that is by Christ Jesus: "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).
But—the "light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not." John 1:55And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. (John 1:5). If you are unsaved, you are a child of the darkness and you belong to the night.
If you are ignoring the price that the Lord Jesus paid to redeem you from the night, if you are neglecting the claims of the One who died for you, there is only one place for you, only one end to your road. You may travel many ways through this world, but there is only one end: "the end thereof are the ways of death." Proverbs 14:1212There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. (Proverbs 14:12).
You, dear lost one, are going out into the night! One of these moments you are going to gaze on light for the last time. There is no light where you are going—IT IS NIGHT! Keen despair, weeping, wailing—darkness! Do you really want that? Why not take the way—the one Way—out of darkness? Jesus is "the way, the truth, and the life." Why not receive Him and turn from darkness to light?
