"Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day"
LOOKING IN . . . "the rulers of the darkness of this world" is how secret groupings are described.
Being a part of some 'inner-circle' can provide a feeling of security. It can give a sense of having 'power over' situations which others outside 'the group' do not have.
In addition to reminding disciples that they are the "light of the world" scripture also informs us that we are in conflict with various "rulers of the darkness of this world".
Secrets can separate us; yet we like the the power of the exclusiveness that they give. Scripture invites us to "walk as children of light", to allow the freedom to 'fellowship':
"if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin."
