“No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light. Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light, but when it is bad, your body is full of darkness. Therefore be careful lest the light in you be darkness. If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly bright, as when a lamp with its rays gives you light.”(Luke 11:33-36 ESV)
Light. It pictures a few things in Scripture - especially the Word of God - His revelation in the Bible and in the Son. We have all sorts of references in the Old Testament to the Bible as a lamp, a light, and Jesus came as "The Light of the World." These people to whom Jesus had been speaking had had a lot of exposure to the light. Now, what would they do with it, with Him?
