Bible Question: What kind of light is darkness? |
Bible Answer: Mommapbs: What kind of light is darkness? Human wisdom. Our of 18th century Europe sprang an intellectual and cultural movement that is known today as the Age of Enlightenment, the central theme of which was the effort to humanize religion. The prevailing philosophies of the day rejected original sin and humanized theological systems. By and large, the autonomy of human reason, not God's revealed truth, ruled supreme. Such light as this Jesus called darkness. ...... The people who lived in the days of the judges also had a kind of light that actually was darkness. Everyone followed his own light and did what was right in his own eyes. (See Judges 21:25). ..... So too did the men to whom Jesus was addressing His remarks in Luke 11:35. It was the Pharisees, and they thought themselves to be very wise. They supposed that they had a great deal of light. But the Lord Jesus warned them to think about their situation, because, in fact, from His divine perspective, whatever light that was in them was actually darkness -- the darkness of pretended wisdom and self-proclaimed superiority -- and this darkness was keeping them from Him, the true Light which enlightens every man. (See John 1:9). --Hank |
