Aim: To boldly shed Christ's light everywhere—as His church.
Doctrine: Fearless light-bearers traverse the entire spiritual spectrum, from uncovering unspeakable evil, to hearing God speak the gospel.
Exegesis: How fearless light-bearers glorify Christ: by unveiling sinners' grossest haunts (v. 12); by neutralizing sinners' idolatrous hopes (v. 13); by introducing sinners to the God of heaven (v. 14).
Further application: How the church is to carry-out fearless light-bearing: first, we need to mature into those who can ''handle'' sin (and sinners); then, we need to rest in the Christ who has conquered sin (and sinners).
Key verse: v. 14 ''Therefore [God] says: 'Awake, you who sleep, arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light.'''
