James Boyd

Then again, we are the sons of the day. We have our origin in the light that shall drive the clouds of night from this evil world, when the time comes for Him, in whom all light centres, to show Himself. We are neither of the night nor of the darkness, nor are we in the night nor in the darkness. The world is in both; and it is either asleep or drunken. If outwardly it is night, and darkness all around us, our hearts are in the light of the coming day, and as sons of the day we show forth in the midst of the world’s night “the virtues of Him who has called us out of darkness into His marvellous light” (1 Peter 2:9).
