Darkness and Light

Ephesians 5:13-14 (NKJV) 13 But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. 14 Therefore He says: “Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.”

Nothing can stay hidden forever. Sooner or later, all things are exposed to light. Light will always cause hidden things to be seen.

As humans, we walk in darkness until God shines His light on us and we allow it to expose who we are; sinners in need of a Savior.

Sometimes we may try to hide, to avoid letting God’s light shine on us because we’re afraid and ashamed of what will be seen.

God’s light exposes evil in whoever it shines on. It’s not so much that He shines His light for the sole purpose of exposing evil. He shines it to remove darkness from our lives. What we do with what is exposed is up to us.

As God’s light touches us, it has the power to be life-changing. It wakes us from our slumber, our dead spiritual condition, and breathes life into our spirit, making us brand new!

This is the greatest miracle of all, that He calls to us, “Awake, you who sleep, arise from the dead”!

And as we listen and heed His call, Jesus gives us light, and gives us life anew. Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-29-18

Avoiding Sin

Ephesians 5:11-12 (NKJV) 11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.

As followers of Christ, it’s imperative that we steer clear of the works of darkness.

It’s not just about our reputation being on the line. It’s also about our life reflecting who God is.

Most importantly, though, it’s about our own walk with Jesus. The works of darkness can pull us off course if we’re not able to recognize them and avoid them. These works impact us, whether we realize it or not.

If we are in the presence of the works of darkness, there are spiritual implications in every aspect of that presence. Darkness has one goal; to snuff out the light and lure people away from the Light.

Rather than having fellowship with the works of darkness, God has instructed us, instead, to expose those works for what they are.

This doesn’t necessarily mean that we expose people. It means that we expose the works. It means that we stand strong against it. And it means that we use the authority that we have as believers and rebuke the unfruitful works of darkness, in the name of Jesus.

What’s more, we are not to even speak of these things.

Why? Because it is shameful to do so. Speaking of these kinds of things bears no fruit. It only brings glory to them, causing them to be brought into the spotlight.

And if we’re not careful, we will find ourselves sharing gossip, under the guise of concern, which the Bible clearly warns us about.
