Seeing by the Son

Seeing by the Son

“I believe in Christianity as I believe that the Sun has risen, not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.” (C.S.Lewis). This belief expressed by the famous author is worth reflecting on. We live in a world of moral darkness, where evil masquerades as good, where ideologies framed as “kindness” and “tolerance” often hurt and destroy lives. The issue is that when the media and social media promote inclusivity, acceptance, and more, it sounds so good, it feels so right. Yet these words can mask a darkness beneath them. This masking of darkness with light isn’t new. Thousands of years ago the prophet Isaiah warned of this: “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter” (Isaiah 5:20). But how do we see this? How can we be aware? We need a light, not just to see the light but to see everything else by the light. Jesus is that light. “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12). By the Son I see everything else. (Craig B) Open Bible – https://bit.ly/Isa5v20, https://bit.ly/joh8v12
