South Pacific Christmas

Norman C. Hutchinson

One might be tempted to accept the twilight hours as a metaphor connected with the approach of darkness, the close of a joyous experience, or even the end of life itself. This doesn’t have to be the case.

We don’t need to see good as ever “winding down” into darkness. In the Bible we read, “God is light, and in him is no darkness at all” (I John 1:5). That we can experience, at least to a degree, some of this glorious light of God became clear to me a few years ago.
