​"YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD November 12, 2008 by eaglerj
This is the reason the questions about measures are important, because you are the light of the world. I didn’t say that, Jesus did:
Matthew 5
  • 14.You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill can’t be hidden.
  • 15.Neither do you light a lamp, and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house.
When we talk about understanding something often we will express it in terms of “the light coming on”. The light Jesus is referring to here, I think, is the understanding that comes through relationship with Him, with Papa and with Holy Spirit. Why do I think that? Because the lamp Jesus was referring to is an oil burning lamp. So, it is a picture of us (the lamp) and the burning oil (Holy Spirit).
But all too often, Jesus is saying, we grab a measuring basket and we put it on top of that relationship and effectively stop any sensation of the “light coming on”. Or, to put it another way, we allow measures into our lives that diminish the relationship that gives us real understanding.
Herein we find a definition of an ungodly measure: Anything that restricts the light flowing from the relationship between us and Papa/Jesus/Holy Spirit. "

​Blessings!!
