77 You will tell God's people how God can save them.
They have done wrong things but God will forgive them.
78 Our God will forgive us because he is very kind.
He will send someone from the highest place.
When this person comes, it will be like the sunrise for us.[a]
79 He will bring light to people who are living without God.

But he will shine on them.
He will show us how to live so that we will not be afraid.’[b]
