EXPOSED BY THE LIGHT This entry was posted on 07-03-2008 and is filed under uncategorized. "But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light" (Eph. 5:13 NASB).
On Saturdays I try to dust the house. Sometimes I do a good job and sometimes I don't. A room may look fairly presentable in the dim light. But pull back the curtains and let the full light of day come in and then all the imperfections are exposed by the light. So it is in the lives of those who are flirting with sin. The light of God's Son and the light of God's Word will make manifest their true character. The Message reads: "Rip the cover off those frauds and see how attractive they look in the light of Christ." This is why authentic biblical teaching and preaching is so important. Crime scene investigators have come up with a special light that reveals all kinds of stains - evidence left in a room by those who committed a crime and thought they were getting away with it. Normal light does not reveal the evidence, but special light does. "For light is capable of showing up everything for what it really is" (Phillips). The light of God's Word can even make us into children of light. "It is even possible (after all, it happened with you!) for light to turn the thing it shines upon into light also" (Phillips). This doesn't happen to everyone (for some resent the light), but thank God it happened to you and me! Prayer: Father of light, we give thanks for the light that exposed our sin and makes us right with You. Through Christ we pray. |
