LUKE 11:33-36

What we value in the Word of God is what we reveal in our lives to others. We need to be very careful Who and what we reflect to the world. 

We who proclaim to believe in Jesus Christ and form His Body here on earth are His hands to others. Where we go He goes also.

It has been said that “you are what you eat.” But even more accurately, you are what you see. This is why David said, “I will set nothing wicked before my eyes”. A person who concentrates on what is good (God’s teaching) is healthy. But a person who focuses on what is bad (the false teaching of the world) is full of darkness. A person can become like light, a living picture of what God’s Word teaches, by concentrating on the light of the truth. NKJ Bible.

Reflecting the light and darkness imagery Jesus’ remarks here highlight the importance of sincere obedience over religious pretense. Faithlife Bible.

Luke 11:33–36 (NKJV): 

“No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a secret place or under a basket, but on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light. The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness. Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness. If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light.”

Romans 7:6

But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter.
