We are considering how that we will “learn” as a result of studying the history of the righteousness given us in the Bible.* It is a knowledge which will guide our feet in the darkness of this world. “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path,” Ps 119:105.
“We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts,” 2 Peter 1:19.
Both these verses indicate the source of light that will guide us in the darkness of this world.* It will show us what to do in a time of crisis. “Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, and said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of these things,” Luke 24:45.
When there is confusion, as there was in the hearts of the two on the road to Emmaus, the Bible, under the Holy Spirit’s blessing, will show us the way.
