Acts 26:18
"To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light,
and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may
receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance
among them which are sanctified
by faith that is in me."
The great thing noted in Luke 15:17, The prodigal's son repentance, "he came to himself." He saw himself a sinner and nothing but a sinner. Before a man can come to Christ he must first come to himself. A man must first recognize and consider what his sin is, and know the plague of his heart before he can be humbled for it. "God said, let there be light:" So we know that was the first thing that God created was light. And the first thing in a penitent is illumination, "For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:" (Eph. 5:8).
Our eyes are made for two things, seeing and weeping. Therefore sin first must be see before it can be wept for. Where there is no sight of sin there can be no repentance. Many of us can see faults in others but none in ourselves. Our body and soul live together, work together, but are we acquainted with ourselves?
My Friends, when sin is seen deal with; not your way but God's way. Let us not walk around with a veil over our head to hide our face. When we become blind to sin in us and around us, the devil can and will move in quickly, because men have enough of insight into worldly matters already, "Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened," (Zech. 11:17).
Amen!
