Regions of the Night – Graphic Print

COMMENTARY

This mystical, strange place called Regions of the Night is a spiritual land where the lost and hopeless souls dwell.  There is a sharp dividing line between the sinner and the righteous person, as well as the between the morally good and God’s redeemed child.  Their desperation is seen in the lines,

They search for light to warm themselves,

But find no gathered heat;

They have no hand to guide their way,

They live in full defeat.

If it were not for the Lamb with wound (Jesus) there would be no escape from the bondage of Satan.  No one can be good enough to be saved (even the morally good).  We must plunge ourselves beneath the fountain of His cleansing blood.  Except for that act we would all remain with “no father’s name.”  But He did Sprinkle us with His Own blood, and we learned how to escape this dreadful place.  The difference is in the anointing of His love for us applied to our hearts.  The gift of this love is His own blood through which He purchased our pardon and led us above the clouds to forever, Escape Regions of the Night.  What Joy!
