“Let Your Light Shine”

“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Matthew 5:13-16

Holiday lights remind us that our Lord Jesus has lit the world with one light – Him.

The light of Jesus is so bright that it illuminates the whole world with truth, justice, and love. This light – Jesus – is everything that the world is longing and looking for.

Jesus told his followers to display His light so that others will see and glorify God.

Imagine if Christians worked as hard at shining and synchronizing the light of God’s love as Jesus has done.

Our witness for Christ is a light in a dark world.
