He Could Not Be Hidden

When I hear the phrase, 'What is hidden will be revealed,'
I think, 'Be sure your sins will find you out.'

And that is true.

But other things that are hidden will be revealed as well.

Solomon says it this way,
"God will bring every work into judgment,
including every secret thing,
whether good or evil."

Jesus said that there is nothing covered that will not be revealed,
and nothing hidden that will not be known.
He was speaking about the hypocrisy of the Pharisees.

He was saying that if we act differently in the light
than we do in the dark,
how we act in the dark will be revealed.
Whatever we speak in the dark
will be heard in the light.
What we have whispered in the ear
will be shouted from the housetop.

Jesus also said this.
'If you have a lamp, don't hide it under the bed
or under a basket.
Set it on top of a lamp stand.
For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed,
and anything kept secret will be brought to light.'

I like this.
He is saying that we shouldn't hide our light.
He is saying that even our hidden light
will be revealed.

One time,
when Jesus wanted to get away from it all,
He entered a house
and wanted no one to know it.

But He could not be hidden.

His light came through the cracks in the house.
Through the windows.
Out the door.
His light shouted from the rooftops.
"I AM here! Light is in this house!"

And a desperate woman heard Light's cry.
Saw the Light.
And came and fell at His feet. 

And when she went home a short time later,
Light had come into her daughter,
and there was no more night.

Holy, Holy God!
Thank you for leaving the Light of Heaven
to reveal Your Light on earth.

Thank you that You cannot be hidden.
