What Does Luke 11:35 Mean?
From the picture comes a sharp warning, aimed at the confident: examine whether the light you steer by is actually darkness. His accusers were certain they saw clearly -- certain enough to call God's work devilish.
No darkness is so deep as the kind that believes itself illumined. The remedy is honest exposure: bringing our judgments, motives, and certainties to God's word and asking him to search them. Take heed makes self-examination a command, not a suggestion.
Luke 11:35 in the Original Language
skopeo (σκοπέω), 'take heed' -- to look carefully, to keep watch.
