Secondly, When 'tis said, his life shall see the light, we may understand it, not only for a bare return to life, or that he shall live, but that he shall live comfortably and prosperously, he shall lead a happy life. To see the light, is to live and rejoice; light is pleasant, it is comfortable to behold the Sun, as Solomon speaks. To see light, comprehends all the comforts of this life, and of that to come, which is called, the inheritance of the Saints in light, (Col: 1.12.) For as darkness is put not only for death, but for all the troubles of this life, and the torments of the next; so light is put both for life, and for all the comforts of this and the next life. All the blessings of this temporal life, and the perfect blessedness of eternal life, are comprehended in light. So that when 'tis said, his life shall see the light, the sense riseth thus high; He shall be happy forever; so extensive is the favour of God to repenting persons, that time is too narrow for it; everlasting light shall be their portion. From the former branch of the words thus opened, He will deliver him from the pit.
