A LAMP IS FOR LIGHT

Passage: Luke 11:33~36  

Key verse: 34


1. God's lamp, Jesus (33)

Jesus is the light of the world. His life and redemptive work are for all to see. Those who follow him do not walk in darkness, but have the light of life (Jn 8:12). Those who do not want to repent love darkness and do not come to the light (Jn 3:19-21).

2. Your eye is your lamp (34-36)

When we come to Jesus with repentant hearts and live in his light, he opens our spiritual eyes and we can see ourselves, others and the world from his viewpoint. When we see things with spiritual eyes, our whole body is full of light: We have God's peace; we can find his direction; we can solve our problems in God's way. If we insist on living by our human feelings and allow fear or anger or lust or jealousy or self-pity to occupy our hearts, we are living in spiritual darkness.


Prayer: Lord, give me spiritual eyes so that I may be full of light, and live as a small lamp in this dark world.

One Word: Live in Jesus' light
