A lamp shines its light on you *

Luke 11:14-36

Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them: “Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and a house divided against itself will fall. If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? I say this because you claim that I drive out demons by Beelzebul. Now if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your followers drive them out?

Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.

As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, “Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you.” He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

“No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light. Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are healthy, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are unhealthy, your body also is full of darkness. See to it, then, that 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 just as full of light as when a lamp shines its light on you.”

Why?

Only the man who belongs to the kingdom of God can drive out demons. If demons drive out demons then the kingdom of demons will be ruined.

Love Jesus will come close to Jesus. Jesus is higher and more powerful than any demons, When Jesus comes all these demons will escape, and fall down.

A man is clean but without the Lord's Spirit, then demons will return again. What kind of Spirit do we like? Only the Spirit of the Lord and demons we can choose.

Blessed are those who hear the word of God and obey it. It is easy to understand, but it is hard to make it for sins of us.

See to it. God is light, let light of the Lord in my soul, so my whole body could be like a lamp shining around the area. See to it, = take heed, be aware.

Light is an energy with hot temperature, love, patience, and persistence. (溫、愛、耐心、堅持)

How?

May the Lord help me be a light in my body to shine others.
