What does this idiom exactly mean?
When we read Luke 16:8 and John 12:36 there is mention of 'become children of the light' for instance.
Luke 16:8 says: "The children of this world are wiser than the children of the light in their generation."
I cannot translate it well, since I don't understand it.
Of course, light is the symbol of life and the Eternal One. But who has some insight to 'enlight' me? <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/happy.gif" alt="" title="Happy" /><!-- s -->
