These are words of a song we sing in our fellowship:
“Light of the world You stepped down into darkness,
Opened my eyes let me see.
Beauty that made this heart adore You,
Hope of a life spent with You…”

Of the light of Christ we see in Scripture:
“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth and the life…’”  John 14:4

“In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.”  John 1:4

“…Jesus spoke to them, saying, ‘I am the light of the world; he who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.  John 8:12

“For God, who said, ‘Light shall shine out of darkness,’ is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.”  2 Corinthians  4:6

Of the Believer, Scripture tells us,
“Arise, shine; for your light has come,
And the glory of the LORD has risen upon you.”  Isaiah 60:1

“…The day is at hand.  Let us therefore lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.”  Romans 13:12

“For you were formerly darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of light.”  Ephesians 5:8

“For you are all sons of light and sons of day.  We are not of night nor of darkness; so then let us not sleep as others do, but let us be alert and sober.”  1 Thessalonians 5:5-6

“for all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.”   Romans 8:14

With these things in mind, let us consider the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:22-24:
“The lamp of the body is the eye.  If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light.
But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness.  If therefore the light in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other.  You cannot serve God and mammon (riches).”

The single eye focused on Christ Jesus is a clear eye!  So,
“…let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
looking unto Jesus, the author (originator) and finisher (perfecter) of our faith…”  
Hebrews 12:1-2

The main thing for Believers is not the work we do (though that is important), but it is our relationship with the Lord and the testimony that is expressed through our relationship with Him.  Because we are Christians, the world takes notice of our behavior.  We, therefore, can not have one foot in the spiritual realm and one in the world!  As stated before,
“No one can serve two masters…You cannot serve God and mammon!”

So let us fix our eyes on our Lord Jesus Christ and worship Him as the words of the song at the beginning of this message continues:

“So here I am to worship, here I am to bow down,
Here I am to say that You’re my God.
For You’re altogether lovely, altogether worthy,
Altogether wonderful to me.
And I'll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross!
Light of the world You stepped down into darkness,
Opened my eyes let me see!”                                       Amen
