Jesus's Light Overcome Darkness |
|
First Generation Friends gathered to wait on the Lord to receive the Light of our Savior which overcomes the darkness of Satan. Our Friends indulged in much intense prayer to receive and eventually live in the light of Christ. As a result of their faithfulness, these true sons and daughters of God baked bread for the needy and indulged in fair business practices. Because first generation Friends lived in the Light of Christ, they could not indulge in violence because Christ overcame their destructive tendencies. In darkness we tend to follow our own inclinations regardless of the baneful consequences. But to continue living in the life of Christ that eliminates darkness we not only need to wait on the Lord but indulge in intense prayer much as George Fox did. Yes, Jesus's Light overcomes Satan's darkness.
