Blackness

“To whom is reserved the blackness of
darkness for ever”
(Jude 13).

John Welsh, a Scottish Covenanter, known for his prayer life and defense of the Scriptures, rejected state interference in church matters. His beliefs landed him in a notorious castle at Blackness, near Falkirk. According to tradition, he was lowered into a dungeon pit that could be reached only through a hole in the floor. Its rough floor was uneven and slanted. There was no flat place on which to lie and no smooth spot on which to get comfortable. One could not sit, stand or lie down without misery. John spent ten months at Blackness. Banishment in total darkness here led many to despair, but Welsh declared, “It is better to know the darkness of Blackness than to experience the blackness of darkness.”

No such fate awaits the believer. The one who has accepted Christ as Savior looks forward to enjoying all eternity in the light of His glorious heaven.

Are you one of the “children of light” (1 Thessalonians 5:5)? Has He “called you out of darkness into His marvellous light” (1 Peter 2:9)?
