Light

 

I had a visit scheduled 24 hours after my cataract surgery last Thursday.  The nurse said that I was doing well and improving according to plans.  She said that the swelling/redness should subside in a couple of days and my vision should continue to improve.  I am amazed at the brightness of my ‘repaired’ eye!  Colors are so vibrant compared to the dingy hues of my other eye … and the other eye formerly was my better-of-the-two eyes!  My left eye/right eye is like the light bulb samples at Lowe’s Home Improvement.  They have two boxes that you can turn on to sample the two bulbs: one is the daylight LED bulb (my surgeryized eye) and the other is the soft, warm light (my unsurgeryed eye).  I can’t imagine anyone wanting to live in that darker, soft white room.  Oh, it is so much more comfortable and relaxing, but I would have to turn on both lights to see to work in the soft, warm-light room.  When I explain life in Jesus Christ, folk blow me off and just choose to live in that mediocre, warm-white world.  Hey, Jesus is the real light!  Yes, he is.  But pagans just don’t see it because they haven’t had spiritual cataract surgery!  I think that cataract surgery is the best witness tool that I can think of!  But I just can’t get folk to have cataract surgery just to understand spiritual concepts.  I Thessalonians 5:4&5, “But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.”
