In Your Light We See Light

The discussion at last week's prayer meeting at work was mainly about how the spiritual nature of the world around us seems to be getting darker. I admit that it does seem that way at times.

But even if things are getting darker- it is in the world of men that this is happening. So this darkness is what we see when we look with our eyes. But...like most Christians I believe that the real world is not what we see with eyes- it is much more and greater than what our eyes perceive.

There are deep and eternal spiritual realities that our physical eyes cannot experience. In fact, those spiritual realities are much more "real" than the things which our physical eyes can capture, because the spiritual realities are eternal; the things we see in this world are not.

All the darkness around us is misleading- the greater reality, the spiritual and eternal reality, is that "the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining" (1 John 2:8). And this "true light" is seen in Jesus and also in us, who are in Christ.

"In your light we see light" (Psalm 36:9).
