  • The Great Controversy Chapter 19: Light Through Darkness

This week, Pastor Ted Wilson and his wife, Nancy, discuss Chapter 19 of The Great Controversy titled “Light through Darkness,” in which the author, Ellen White, talks about William Miller and his search for truth.

This week, Pastor Ted Wilson and his wife, Nancy, discuss Chapter 19 of The Great Controversy titled “Light through Darkness,” in which the author, Ellen White, talks about William Miller and his search for truth.

Clearly, Christ did not return in 1844 as William Miller predicted, so what did he get wrong? As Pastor Wilson states, "As Christ walked with the disciples to Emmaus on that resurrection day, He did not at first reveal Himself to them. Instead, He carefully led them through the Scriptures, showing in the prophecies what the true mission of the Messiah was, and how that mission was fulfilled. He led them to base their faith and belief on the prophetic word, rather than on personal experience alone." 

To learn more about “Light Through Darkness” and how it relates to our present experience, read The Great Controversy by Ellen White at https://greatcontroversyproject.org/ and join us next week for more.
