Novelist Henry Miller: "Life has to be given a meaning because of the obvious fact that it has no meaning." Movie director Stanley Kubrick claimed, "however vast the darkness, we must supply our own light." Jesus disagrees, claiming that "I am the light of the world" (John 9:5). He calls us to be "the light of the world" (Matthew 5:14) by reflecting his light as the moon reflects the sun. Of course, as our world can cause an eclipse of the moon, so it can cause an eclipse of the soul. When it gets between us and the Source of our light, it leaves us and our culture in darkness. But when we focus fully on Jesus, we reveal him to those who deserve to see his love in ours. The old hymn said it well: "Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in his wonderful face, and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of his glory and grace." (Denison Forum)
