THE WORD ON DISPLAY

SERIES Part 2

Reflecting on the Word Luke 8:16-21

Presented by

Pastor Justin Greene

September 27, 2015

The opening ceremonies of the 2002 Winter Olympics

in Salt Lake City were an amazing spectacle of sound

and light. A worldwide television audience watched

as thousands of singers, skaters, and other performers

presented a pageant of the American West from its

native inhabitants to the pioneers, the transcontinental

railroad, and beyond.

One of the most captivating aspects of the

celebration was the participation of young performers

called the children of light. First a boy in pioneer

costume skated into the darkened stadium with a

single lantern. He was followed by hundreds of other

children, who carried bright lights and danced on the

ice like stars in the moonlight. In keeping with the

Olympiads theme of Light the Fire Within, these

children of light represented the joy of life and the

worlds bright hope for the future.

The children also awakened echoes of eternity.

In their glory, they were a reflection of Gods promise

in the gospel that people who believe in Jesus Christ

will become children of light (John 12:36 KJV). It was

only a pale reflection, of course, because the

Olympics make a poor substitute for the gospel. But as

they grasped for transcendence, the opening

ceremonies awakened a desire that only Jesus can

satisfy our desire to become the bright and glorious

children of God.

The twin themes of light and children are brought

together in two small episodes that appear side by

side in the Gospel of Luke: a proverb about a lamp

under a jar and a statement Jesus made about

membership in his family. Together these incidents

show that the true children of light are people who do

what Jesus says.1

BEHOLD THE LAWS OF THE LAMP!

Illumination Takes Effort

Illumination Attracts

Illumination Reveals Where You Are

Illumination Reveals Where You Are Going

BEHOLD THE LAW OF BINGO WINGS

Unused muscle will atrophy

BEHOLD THE BONDS OF FAMILY

A family has a father (Gal 4:5-6; Rom 8:14-17)

A family has a bride (2 Cor 11:2; Eph 5:25-27; Rev 19:7-9, Dowry = Eph 1)

A family has children (1 Jn 3:1-2; Gal 4:5-6; Rom 8:14-17)

A family has an inheritance (Eph 1:13-14)

A family is willing to die for each other (Rom 5:6-10)

A family is accountable (Gal 6:1)

A family has reunions (1 Thess 1)

Christ didnt say this flippantly!

Is your light bright?
