Tonight was the Leonid meteor shower. Some residents and I sat on a bridge high above the earth's atmosphere in order to catch a glimpse! Well, we were kind above the street lights at least. Almost.
We did get to see a few breath taking meteors shoot through the atmosphere! I wish I could watch them again in slow motion. They were brilliant!
But while we only saw a few meteors, due to the surrounding city lights, there were in reality much greater numbers of meteors that we could not see. They existed, but we couldn't see them! What a truth to our own lives! How much is happening in the spiritual realm, and the realm of the knowledge of Christ, that we are blind to; don't realize because it has not been brought to light. Christ is the light that reveals the truth of this world!
Now, I'm not sure the logistics of all this work out perfectly, but, nevertheless, in attempts to stretch my analogy even further, I will ask, why is it that we can't see the true light and distant reality? Could it be the street lights, which are dramatically weaker that the light of the meteors, are somehow stealing our attention? Though they are no comparison to the light above, when they are placed right in front of our eyes, we can no longer see the true ad beautiful light in the distance. False gods and Satan's lies act as light, but are really just a distraction from the truth.
" 5This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 6If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. 7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with
one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. "
1 John 1:5-7
