His body is restored by the warmth of the rays of God's heavenly light, and his grass and cereals come to fruition only because of its shining. He needs the Vitamin D for health, and the disease germs flourish in the darkness. What monsters creep upon the shadowed walls of a dark room in the night. One wonders why any man would choose the darkness in preference to the light. Here the Word enlightens us.
Men love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil.
Men may cling to sickness because they do not fully appreciate what it is to be well. I knew a man that suffered unspeakably because he dreaded the scalpel of the surgeon. There is a pain that heals, but how forbidding the dentist's chair. They that dwell in the shadow of death behold new glory bright. If a man cringes in the shadows of despair now it is because he is on the wrong side of the cross.
