Luke
11:33-36
"No one, when he has
lit a lamp, puts it in a secret place or under a basket, but on a lamp stand, that
hose who come in may see the light. The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore,
when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye
is bad, your body also is full of darkness. Therefore take heed that the light
which is in you is not darkness. If then your whole body is full of light,
having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining
of a lamp gives you light."
Have you ever met people who give the appearance of being really
great Christians, but the things they do in the dark are sometimes so bad that it
makes you wonder how they fool us, or even others. I have, I know them well.
I would not be surprised if you also have these kind of people in your life.
I know people who say "if that is a Christian, than I don't want to be
one." This is because of the things these people do outside of church.
Don't you wonder how this can be? It is because their eye is bad. Yes, if
one part of you is bad than you are filled with darkness. Now this does not mean
that we are free from sin. We all sin, but a true Christian repents of those
sins and does everything he or she can to not do that thing again. Those who
have darkness instead of light within them continue to do the same sin over and over
again. Often they become so caught up in their sin that they donšt even know
they are doing it.
For example: Telling a
lie is a sin. Now, everyone has lied at one time or another. We are
imperfect people. However, a person who has darkness inside them lie to the point that
they believe their own lies. If a Christian is caught up in this as a lifestyle
they should desperately seek GOD
for deliverance! Who is the father of all lies? satan. Therefore, we must
try our hardest to be truth tellers. Who is the Author of Truth? GOD!
Open your
heart today and ask
GOD
to make your eye good so
that you may be filled with
His light! |
