Walking in darkness
Jesus describes those who are walking in darkness. They do not know where they are going. "He that walks in darkness does not know where he is going."

Dr John Kennedy (1819-1884)
Scottish Highland Christianity has been unique in preserving the biblical and spiritual attainments of the 16th-century Scottish Reformation to the present day.
