John 20:19-23 You have peace with God through Jesus’ forgiveness!
Not many people are in the dark about what is going to happen tomorrow. Tomorrow, if you have a pair of protective glasses, you will be able to safely watch the sky darken in the middle of the day. The temporary darkness has sparked a lot of interest, but it is good that the sun will only be hidden for a short time. The light of the sun needs to shine on the earth to sustain life. The Light of the world is one of the names used in the Bible for Jesus. He went into the darkness of death to save us, but he overcame the darkness with his resurrection. He is the reason we have forgiveness and peace with God, and he will sustain us for eternity in heaven.
