Is Your Body Filed With Light or Darkness?

More of Jesus' teachings from The Sermon on the Mount...

Your eye is a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is good, your whole body is filled with light. But when your eye is bad, your whole body is filled with darkness. And if the light you think you have is actually darkness, how deep that darkness is! Matthew 6:22-23

Have you ever noticed how some people's eyes just shine and glimmer--especially joyful children? Then some other people's eyes are gloomy--vacant--yes, dark. No light--no hope. Jesus did not seem to draw His specific teaching from Old Testament scripture, but here is a "light" example from Proverbs to guide our lives.
     - The life of the godly is full of light and joy, but the light of the wicked will be snuffed out. Proverbs 13:9

We have a choice...walk in darkness or in the light. Jesus is a beacon--a lighthouse showing us the way to live.
    - The people who walk in darkness will see a great light. For those who live in a land of deep darkness, a light will shine. Isaiah 9:2.  Jesus is that light.
     - Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, "I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won't have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life." John 8:12

Let Him shine in your life.

Prayer ~ Lord Jesus...Let your light shine in and though us...that we would be a beacon for others. "For You light my lamp; You, LORD my God, illumine my darkness." Psalm 18:28 (NASB)
