the ligh

Luke 11;33-36
Jesus teaches about the Light within
" No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead he puts it on a stand, so that those who come in may see the light. Your eye is the lamp of your body. when your eyes are good, your whole body is full of light. But when they are bad, your body is full of darkness. See to it, then the light within you is not darkness. Therefore, if your whole body is full of light, and no part of it dark, it will be completely lighted, as when the liight of the lamp shines on you."
I red that about two - three months ago, and I didn't know what it meant so I red it again and again and again, I just couldn't get it! But for some odd reason I knew it was probley the most importent message I'll ever read, it just shouted out at me "you need this". I don't know if any of you have ever experianced anything like that, but I just knew if I figred out what it meant, it would be like the key to the city. This scripture was talking to me, But it might as well been speaking Russain for all I understood of it. I was emailing my friend Clint, asking "what does it mean?", I took it to bible study "What does it mean?" Every one had a explanation But none really sunk in. My study bible explanation reads.... " The lamp is christ; the eye represents spirtal understanding and insight. Evil desire makes the eye less senstive and blots out the light of christs presence. If you have a hard time seeing God at work in your life, check your visoin. Are there any sinful disires blinding you to Christ?" That makes sense to me, makes alot of sense.
All my life I've seen people with there high beams on. It's Crazy if you think about it, any True believer that I've ever seen, all have a radiance about them that just seems to bubble out them. To me thats the light. My friend Shane puts it like this " The ability to walk into a dark cave with out even a macth and fill that room with light." And believe me he can! You almost need sunscreen and sunglasses if you roll with the big Guy.
