Let the fire burn!
Speaking of light - have you ever gone to the tourist places like Cave of The Winds or something similar? They take you a thousand feet or more below the surface of the ground and then for effect turn the lights out on you to show you just how dark it is down there. We have all experienced something like this, an experience of total darkness. What happens when one small light or candle is lit? An amazing thing occurs, one little candle can light up a huge cavern.
How about this - have you ever been in front of a light so bright that you could see through your hand and all of the blood vessels and bones and such? The experience of this light is actually blinding. It is difficult to look directly into a very bright light.
The first example, of course, is analogous to the light of truth that we carry into the world. It is the light that Jesus talked about in John 5:14 when he said "you are the light of the world." The second example is analogous to the light of truth itself. It comes and illumines every bit and fiber of our being and exposes everything that is not of the light. This is the light of the Truth, with a capital "T," that we must allow to now fully penetrate our mind, heart and spirit. By allowing the Truth to come and flood our very being with this awesome luminescence, we are then afforded the opportunity to be people of truth. This is the challenge before you, will you let the fire of the light of truth to burn until you yourself are a made one with the truth?
