LIGHT AT EVENING TIME
Foretelling the coming of Christ, the prophet Zechariah wrote (14:6, 7), "And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark: but it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light."
The day of which the prophet writes is clearly not a solar day, but a period of spiritual experience. It is the "day" Mary Baker Eddy defines in the Glossary of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 584) in part as, "The irradiance of Life; light, the spiritual idea of Truth and Love."
When the Christ comes into consciousness the darkness of fear and doubt disappears and thought is illumined with spiritual radiance. This light is Truth reflected, and its presence gives eyes to the blind and lifts the darkened mortal sense out of doubt and obscurity. Age, accident, disease, loss, heredity, do not dim the light of the Christ, nor can they cause mortals to remain in darkness when once the enlightenment of Truth has come to them. The joy that is ours through spiritual inspiration far outshines a temporal material sense of happiness. The one is shallow and fleeting; the other is deep and abiding.
