This lighthouse, built upon the solid rock, an island in the midst of the seas, is the most northerly point in the British Dominions. The island on which it stands has a population of three — the lighthouse keepers. The lighthouse Isaiah 64 ft. high, with a fixed light 230 ft. above high water. The light may be seen at a distance of 21 miles.
There the light has shone brightly through the nights of many years — based upon the solid rock the lighthouse stands casting its radiance for twenty-one miles over the deep. How many lives have been saved through its benignant shining!
It reminds me, as I gaze upon it, of the Word of God, based upon the rock of unchanging and infallible inspiration.
Not all the storms of unbelief, that all through the centuries, have been raging around this rock, seeking to put out the Light of God’s revealed Word, have weakened its power to diffuse the light in any way. “The foundation of God standeth sure.” From Genesis to Revelation, it is the word of the Living God. The Bible, some tell us, contains the Word of God. We answer, “It is the Word of God.”
Our Lord said, “I am the Light of the world.” He has been shining over the destinies of men and women for more than nineteen centuries. He also said, “Search the Scriptures, they testify of Me, and beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded unto them in all the Scripture, the things concerning Himself.”
