RESCUER
“He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son.”
Colossians 1:13
There IS a domain of darkness. In the Bible, darkness is a metaphor for “darkened” understanding; such as “ignorance about divine things as well as ungodliness and immorality together with their consequent misery in hell.”** 1 John 1:19 explains “the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.” But, Christ Jesus has literally rescued us. Just like a firefighter who dashes into a blazing building, rescues someone, and carries them to safety, our Lord has dashed Satan’s realm, rescued us, and carried us to His kingdom. That’s something to think about with a grateful heart.
Lord Jesus, You are my RESCUER! I love You! I thank You! I praise You!
