#the light of the world

[aniah-who]

What are we doing? Really, church. What are we doing? We are the salt of the earth, but what good is salt if it's lost its savor? Why have we gone back to the snares that God once delivered us from? Why have we turned back to the sin that Jesus already freed us from? We've placed our candles underneath bushels in hopes of avoiding persecution. Our spirit has grown deprived while our flesh is yet to still be satisfied. We've been filled with everything but the Spirit and lulled to sleep in the comfort of our own sin. We are the light of the world, saints. It's time that we start walking in this truth.

William Holman Hunt, The Light of the World (1851–1854)

* * *

Lead Kindly Light

“Lead, Kindly Light, amidst th'encircling gloom, Lead Thou me on! The night is dark, and I am far from home, Lead Thou me on! Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see The distant scene; one step enough for me.

I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou Shouldst lead me on; I loved to choose and see my path; but now Lead Thou me on! I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears, Pride ruled my will. Remember not past years!

So long Thy power hath blest me, sure it still Will lead me on. O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till The night is gone, And with the morn those angel faces smile, Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile!”

— John Henry Newman

I feel this constant need of light and nature.

Yes I go outside, but that's not the light I'm looking for, the one I want is from 13 years ago, the one that hit my face while I ran through the leaves of the garden. The light I'm looking for is the one from 12 years ago, when I stared at the sun for too long and could only see dots and too saturated colors, thinking the world was bright blue. The light I'm looking for is the one from 14 years ago, the one I saw reflected on the lake, the one too mossy, the one I was scared of.

I know I will see that light again, but I hope it won't leave me blind.

The Gift of Christ Pt. 10

“I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the dark.” John 12:46

The Glorious Light of the Gospel

The heart of man in its natural state is the throne room of iniquity, where every vile act and evil intent is brewed, and darkness rules and reigns. But when the Lord in His grace shines the light of the Gospel in that room, this enables the man to understand the misery of walking in darkness. For he begins to see where he is going. And the beautiful mystery of this gracious divine light is that it shines brighter and brighter as the man grows in the knowledge of his divine Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. At salvation’s birth, it is like a beam of sunlight, coming in through the smallest window of the man’s heart, which points him to the source of light and enables him to realize that he resides in darkness and to understand the danger of it. And the Holy Spirit of love who quickens the man directs and empowers him to flee from the darkness and to turn to the light. And as the man matures in his walk in the light, it is no longer a window but a door through which the light shines that is opened. And the light shines brighter in the chamber of his heart and reveals all hidden sins.  Thus, as the man grows in holiness, many a sin he sees in the chamber of his heart as the light continues to shine brighter; he beholds more of the beauty and excellencies of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, which enables him to see every tiny speck, even in the most hidden corner of his heart.

The Christmas Fight

The Christmas Fight To say the least this year has been a tough year. I have struggled with physical issues, issues at home, government agency issues, financial struggles, and more. In just the month of December I have faced the loss of a beloved therapy dog of 11 years, Cooper. I am facing the loss of my home for the last three years, my tent, my man cave, my bat cave, my studio in the great…

[Christ] alone wants to be known as the Light of the world; He sets Himself apart from all other preachers. Therefore darkness reigns wherever He is not present. If He had only been more moderate and reasonable, and had said; "I am the Light of this country, of this kingdom, of this house, of this nation, of this temple," it might have been accepted as a fair claim. But to come out boastfully and take in the entire world in one bite, to speak so disparagingly and casually of the world, to say that it dwells in sheer darkness without Him--that is an arrogant claim, that is bidding everyone else be silent, that is calling all wise people fools. That is saying: "You know nothing; you see nothing; you are walking in darkness. If I do not shine, there is no light." ~Martin Luther, "Sermons on the Gospel of St. John" in Luther's Works, vol. 23, 319-20.

A Feint Glow of God’s Glory

29 When Moses came down from Mount Sinai, with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand as he came down from the mountain, Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because he had been talking with God. 30 Aaron and all the people of Israel saw Moses, and behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him. 31 But Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the…
