Quick! Somebody Bring a Light!
by Maxie Boren
It was a pitch-black night, illuminated only by
the headlights of passing automobiles. At the
wheel of a fast-moving vehicle, a drunken driver
crosses the median into oncoming traffic, and then
suddenly, the screeching tires, the dreadful
impact! The two cars plunge down the embankment
into heavy brush, nearly out of sight from the
highway. But fortunately, a few people in trailing
traffic witness the collision, and motorists
commence stopping. One man, rushing and sliding
down the embankment with heart pounding, is the
first to survey the tangled steel and to hear the
moans of the injured. But in the darkness, it's
impossible to see, so he frantically calls to
others who have gathered at the side of the
highway, "Quick, somebody bring a light!"
Though the above is an imagined scenario for the
sake of this article, yet we know that such can,
and most likely does, happen. But my primary
interest is to make a spiritual application.
In sin, the world has plunged itself into
foreboding darkness! Comes the urgent plea,
"Quick, somebody bring the light!" True Christians
just must respond! We can't stand by with callused
hearts and fail to help. We must carry the
glorious light of the Gospel to a world that Satan
has led into the pitch-blackness of iniquity!
Through the Gospel of Christ, and by proper
example, we must TRY to illuminate the way for
others! "The path of the just is as the shining
light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect
day" (Proverbs 4:18).
