The Gentiles(?) shall come to thy light and kings to the brightness of thy rising." 1. Let us consider for a moment this light as it is in 4. We must keep in view not it is God in X. As sinners we can not look upon God directly. His light is too dazzling - we cannot look upon the natural sun without the aid of a mediating flass - His piercing light is destructive to the eye. So God out of X is a consuming fire. We cannot look upon him; for this reason he veiled himsrlf in human ... so that now through X we can look up to God and not be consumed. In X we now have a just conception of God, of his untarnished holiness, of his just dealings with sin, of our condemnatiosn and of the way of escape. Christ said I am the light. He was light itself. He shone with no borrowed lustre.
