[The Glory Unveiled]
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. [ Psalms 119:105 KJV ]
Light is a seemingly useless commodity for the blind. Despite its role in facilitating unhindered vision and enabling various activities, it remains unappreciable to those without sight. Therefore, while light holds great significance, its value remains elusive to those lacking vision. Just as natural light is futile to the blind, the word of God similarly offers no benefit to the spiritually blind. “The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit” (1 Corinthians 2:14). Additionally, in John 14:17, it is explained that the world cannot accept the Spirit because it neither sees nor knows Him. However, believers, who have the Spirit dwelling within them, can comprehend Him. The Holy Spirit embodies the essence of the word of God, which is light. For those ensnared by sin, symbolized by the world, the light of God’s word, which is the Spirit, remains invisible. The word of God underscores the inability of the blind to derive benefit from what they cannot perceive. To truly experience the beauty and blessings of light, the blind must first gain the gift of sight. Jesus came to bestow light upon us while we were in darkness, but He first grants us the ability to perceive this light through our belief in Him. Our faith in Him confers upon us the right to become sons, endowing us with the capacity to see. Consequently, God’s word serves as a lamp to guide our steps and illuminate our path, directing and enlightening our way in a dark world.
