            II.FLIPPING THE SWITCH (John 9; John 8:12)<\/strong><\/h4>\n

            The days of Isaiah were dark days. Solomon\u2019s temple was not the scene of worship but (corruption<\/strong><\/span>). The kings led the people into (injustice<\/strong><\/span>) and down the wrong path. They ignored (the prophets<\/strong><\/span>). Their hearts were (dark<\/strong><\/span>) and their future looked equally dark.<\/p>\n

            Out of that darkness comes a word of light. [Isaiah 9:2, 6-7] [Ps.27:1]<\/p>\n

            \u201cI believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because
            \nby it I see everything else.\u201d C.S. Lewis<\/p>\n
