The Second Scrutiny: Light. Enlightenment by Christ through initiation allows us to see things as they really are, with their full meaning.
1 Samuel 16:1, 6-7, 10-13. The prophet Samuel sees David's spirit and God's election of David, even though on the surface he does not appear to be the obvious choice to be the "Lord's anointed."
Psalm of the Day: Ps (22) 23
Faith allows us to see beyond the dangers of "the dark valley" to the presence of God at our side.
Ephesians 5:8-14. The light of Christ should not simply shine on us; it should shine out from inside us. We should "live as children of light." We should see things as God sees them and act in ways that please the Lord.
John 9:1-41. Jesus sees things in the light of God, so he knows that problems like physical blindness are not the result of sin. But, as the former blind man discovers, once he has been given his sight, there is a kind of blindness that can afflict our spirit, which keeps us from seeing God's hand at work in our world and in ourselves. The former blind man does not suffer from such blindness, but those around him do. The very presence of Christ reveals those who suffer from blindness of spirit and those who "have eyes to see."
