Lastly, We may consider from this Text, that as light hath its special houses or dwellings, so it hath a special way to its dwelling chalked out (as it were) and appointed by God. And is there not a way, a path, to spiritual, to eternal light? The way to these lights is Christ, He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14.6.) He is the true, the only way to life, to ⟨p. 173⟩spiritual life and light; yea, he is the way to eternal light and life. Holiness and faith in Christ are the passing way to this light, but Christ himself is the way procuring light. Without faith it is impossible to please God, and without holiness no man can see God.
