Luke 1:77-79 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. As I was reading the Christmas story, a phrase caught my eye. “to them that sit in darkness.” I sat to think about what that actually means.
