True Light
"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that
put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and
sweet for bitter!" (Isaiah 5:20)
In this world such a thing keeps happening. People call evil good and good evil. What can we do with such people? When Adam sinned, his mind was
perverted. When Jesus came He brought
the true light. "O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let
them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles" (Psalm 43:3). In our homes, if we have this light and this
truth they will be small heavens. Even
our Churches would be so. But there is
no light in some of our Churches and the truth is not given there. Churches have settled down to be
organizations to collect money and to observe certain ceremonies.
What is the power in Christ? Is it mainly healing? No. It
is mainly lighting up the heart and making man see his sinfulness in God's light.
There is a story told of Ulysses and Circe. Circe was an enchantress who lived in an
island. She used to feed her guests and
use her enchantments to turn them into birds or animals. Their nature used to change into that of
those creatures. Satan has done the same
to us. We look respectable, but we call
evil good and good evil. We have taught
our children so. "This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye
henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,"
(Ephesians
