To let out into light those bound in the dark

[SANTOSO]

Whose life do we see that the Lord Jesus Christ has let out into light those bound in the dark ?

Tell us whose life the Lord have touched !
It can be your life story or in the bible.

 

[SANTOSO]

This is what we have heard:
As He drew near to the gate of the town, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow, and a considerable crowd from the town was with her. -Luke 7:12
And when the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, "Do not weep." -Luke 7:13
Then He came up and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, "Young man, I say to you, arise." -Luke 7:14

 

[Unqualified]

Me. He drew me because of my affliction. When I decided to obey Him he gave me better life, great joy and a rock to stand on.

 

[SANTOSO]

This story that we have heard that our Lord let out into light those bound in the dark:

While he was saying these things to them, behold, a ruler came in and knelt before him, saying, "My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live." -Matthew 9:18
And when Jesus came to the ruler's house and saw the flute players and the crowd making a commotion, -Matthew 9:23
he said, "Go away, for the girl is not dead but sleeping." And they laughed at him. -Matthew 9:24
But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose. -Matthew 9:25
And the report of this went through all that district. -Matthew 9:26

Our Lord practices His steadfast love, righteousness and justice on earth.
Blessed be the Lord for His steadfast love.

 

[SANTOSO]

This is written about our Lord Jesus Christ:

to open the eyes that are blind, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, from the prison those who sit in darkness. -Isaiah 42:7

Whom the Lord bring out from the prison those who sit in darkness:

this is what we have heard:
28 And when he came to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men met him, coming out of the tombs, so fierce that no one could pass that way. 29 And behold, they cried out, "What have you to do with us, O Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?"30 Now a herd of many pigs was feeding at some distance from them. 31 And the demons begged him, saying, "If you cast us out, send us away into the herd of pigs." 32 And he said to them, "Go." So they came out and went into the pigs, and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the waters. 33 The herdsmen fled, and going into the city they told everything, especially what had happened to the demon-possessed men.34 And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him, they begged him to leave their region.-Matthew 8:28-34

How wonderful is the grace of our Lord.
This is what we have heard from apostle Peter:
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. -1 Peter 2:9

Let those who dwell in darkness not lose heart, but return to the Lord wholeheartedly.

Have you not the Lord Jesus Christ is called to proclaim freedom to the captives,as written in Isaiah 61:1

The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come." And let the one who hears say, "Come." And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price. -Revelation 22:17

Enjoy you sharing the scriptures and sharing your wisdom that assuredly comes from God all praise be, Santoso.

Today ; Mark 4: Jesus had said
21 Also He said to them, “Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Is it not to be set on a lampstand? 22 For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light. 23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.” 24 Then He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear, more will be given. 25 For whoever has, to him more will be given; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”

Jesus had said if you have accepted the light to you go and hide it from others, by hiding behind darkness?

Is not the light meant to be shown on display from what God has taught us and allowing the light of the spirit of Christ to shine for others to see?

While thinking on this scripture, also I think about connection with others, and how we share the darkness of our experiences that once where had, with an acceptance of the ability to let go of the past and forgive ourself, as the Lord will forgive us.

So people can see our old self, and realize as we stay close to God our new self in which we renew our mind through Christ Jesus, in where we keep our faith and trust in him, and that Light shall be shined onward - as long as we keep progressing with our faith and love for God, and that love would help others see our experiences and what drove us to the light which Jesus Christ our Lord now shines with in us.
