PC Opens Tennis Schedule On Home Courts Saturday Road John 1:13-17 The tone light that enlightens every man was coming Into the world. (John 1:3. RSV) , In the world in which we live there is much darkness. We ■ People* and nations groping in the dark. Some think they have seen the light: but they are following an illusion—some fates light which guides no more, some light which has burned out in the course of time. But the light which people have seen in Christ never fades be cause its very source is God. There are, of course, moments in our Uves when we doubt this. There was such a moment in the minds of the early disciples of Jesus. When He was crucified, dead, and buried, they thought that was the end of the one whom they called Master and Lord. But to them, and to thousands of believing Christians through out toe ages, in their moments of doubt, anxiety, end despair it has been proved repeatedly that Jesus toe Christ' rises victoriously over every evil force. The light which people have seen in Him will shine eternally. PRAYER O Thou who art the eternal light, shine in the dark ness ef our world and in the darkness of our scute. In Thy light may we see light and fellow It to the cad of onr day. In oqr great Redeemer’s name. *"»»" THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Jesus Christ—the light for the world yesterday, today and for ever.
