My Daily Meditation For The Circling Year by John Henry Jowett

JULY The First THE LIFE OR THE LIGHT OF MEN

|In Him was life.|
-- JOHN i.1-18.

Not merely a pool of life, but the well-spring. All rivers of enriching vitality have their source in Him. Nowhere is there a crystal stream which was not born at the Fountain. Let us make our claim for the Lord all-comprehensive and inclusive. Whatever energizes body, mind, or soul, has its origin in our Sovereign King. |All our springs are in Thee.| |Thou of life the Fountain art.|

|And the life was the light of men.| And what did He not light up? His amazing rays streamed down the darkest ways of men, and illumined the vast, sombre chambers of human circumstance. He lit up sin and showed its true colour! He lit up sorrow, and transfigured it! He lit up duty, and gave it a new face. He lit up common work, and glorified it. He lit up death, and we could see through it! But, above all, He lit up God, and |the people that sat in darkness saw a great light.|

|And the darkness apprehended it not.| The darkness could not lay hold of it and quench it! It was not overwhelmed and eclipsed by the murkiest fog of prejudice, or by the dingiest antagonism of sinful pride. |The light showeth in the darkness,| inviolable and invincible!
