John 1:5

And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

Here is drawn the line of distinction between the character of those who from the natural blindness of a fallen state, unawakened by the Holy Ghost, have no perception of the person and glory of Christ; and those who from grace-union with him, are called out of darkness into his marvellous light. Pause, Reader! and contemplate the vast privileges of the Lord's people.
