Masquerading as Light

“But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!” Matthew 6:23

Yesterday we talked about good being a singular focus on Jesus. If good means single, then bad must mean focusing on many things. When this is your life you will find darkness dwelling within. Not darkness as in evil behaviors but darkness in how you think or see things.

Jesus says, “therefore the light that is in you is darkness.” How can light be darkness? When you have an idea or perspective that is delusional it will be masqueraded as light. Here is an example of something we’ve been taught for years that is darkness masquerading as light. When Jesus was on the Cross He cried out, “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?” We were taught the Father turned His back on Jesus because He could not look at sin. This is darkness masquerading as light. Jesus was actually quoting Old Testament from David. He was showing us He would go to the darkness place in us to let us know the Father will never abandon us. Right before the Cross, Jesus told His disciples, “You will abandon Me, but My Father never will.”

It is vitally important to be able to see things in pure light. When you believe that Abba turned His back on Jesus in His darkest time you will believe He can and will do it to you. He’s coming after all of these things we were taught that gave us the wrong perspective of Abba, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. We haven’t even seen the scriptures right because of our perspective being darkness masquerading as light.

1 John 1:5 says, this is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. We must stop casting our shadows onto Abba and stand in His pure light to let Him deal with how we see and think.

His question to you today: Who told you that?
