265. Darkness and Its Treasures<\/p>\n
C. H. Spurgeon, on one occasion, was in Richmond Park with a friend, who was reading to him, and in the course of reading he read: \u201cAnd it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.\u201d \u201cStay!\u201d said C.H.S. \u201cThat is ugly! Dark! and Jesus was not come to them,\u201d and he relapsed into silence. Here are some sparklets of thought to pass on\u2014<\/p>\n
1. Don\u2019t be surprised when seeking the light if you come into the dark. Job long ago declared, \u201cWhen I waited for light there came darkness\u201d (Job_30:26).<\/p>\n
2. When we are in the dark, and have no light, we have the opportunity to trust in the Lord and stay upon Him\u2014Isa_1:10.<\/p>\n
3. The darkness is the opportunity for the Lord\u2019s succour, for He maketh light to arise in the darkness\u2014Psa_112:4.<\/p>\n
4. There are \u201ctreasures of darkness,\u201d so don\u2019t be in a hurry to get out of it, lest you should miss them\u2014Isa_45:3.<\/p>\n
5. There is never a darkness through which we may pass but what it is light in comparison to that which the Lord passed through for us on the Cross\u2014Mar_15:33.<\/p>\n
6. If we seek Christ in the dark, like Mary Magdalene, who came to the sepulchre while \u201cit was yet dark,\u201d we shall find Him\u2014Joh_20:1.<\/p>\n
7. Christ will not leave us in the dark, so let us keep on rowing, as the disciples did, and it will not be long before we shall \u201csee Jesus,\u201d and hear His, \u201cIt is I, be not afraid\u201d (Joh_6:17-21).<\/p>\n
