John 5:44
How can you believe, who
receive honor from one another, and do not seek the honor that comes from the
only God?
What takes place at the new
birth is an explosion on the inside (a literal explosion, not a theoretical
one) that opens all the doors that have been closed. Life becomes larger; there is the incoming of a totally new
point of view.
The way a searchlight works
is a very good illustration. A searchlight illumines only so much and no more; but let
daylight come, and you find a thousand and one things the searchlight did not
reveal.
Christianity is not walking
in the light of our convictions, but walking in the light of the Lord, a very
different thing. Convictions are
necessary, but only as stepping stones to all that God wants us to be…We have
to get into the white light of Jesus Christ where He is easily first -- not our
experience of Him first, but Jesus Christ Himself first, and our experience the
evidence that we have seen Him.
