Light and Darkness

Luke 11:33-36   
33 “No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a secret place or under a basket, but on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light. 34 The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness. 35 Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness. 36 If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light.”

If the goodness of God in the face of Jesus Christ is in is, then we cannot hide it from others - they will see the difference as does God.  So we are by God's work in us to put off works of darkness and put on those pleasing to Him, of light.  So we shine as stars and are used to bring the light of righteousness to others (Daniel 12:3).  Is our eye good, with light behind it?
