“And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the
       light from the darkness.” 
              — Genesis 1:4

Light might well be good since it sprang from that fiat of goodness,
“Let there be light.” We who enjoy it should be more grateful for it
than we are, and see more of God in it and by it. Light physical is
said by Solomon to be sweet, but gospel light is infinitely more
precious, for it reveals eternal things, and ministers to our immortal
natures. When the Holy Spirit gives us spiritual light, and opens our
eyes to behold the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ, we behold
sin in its true colours, and ourselves in our real position; we see the
Most Holy God as he reveals himself, the plan of mercy as he propounds
it, and the world to come as the Word describes it. Spiritual light has
many beams and prismatic colours, but whether they be knowledge, joy,
holiness, or life, all are divinely good. If the light received be thus
good, what must the essential light be, and how glorious must be the
place where he reveals himself. O Lord, since light is so good, give us
more of it, and more of thyself, the true light.

No sooner is there a good thing in the world, than a division is
necessary. Light and darkness have no communion; God has divided them,
let us not confound them. Sons of light must not have fellowship with
deeds, doctrines, or deceits of darkness. The children of the day must
be sober, honest, and bold in their Lord’s work, leaving the works of
darkness to those who shall dwell in it for ever. Our Churches should
by discipline divide the light from the darkness, and we should by our
distinct separation from the world do the same. In judgment, in action,
in hearing, in teaching, in association, we must discern between the
precious and the vile, and maintain the great distinction which the
Lord made upon the world’s first day. O Lord Jesus, be thou our light
throughout the whole of this day, for thy light is the light of men.
