“You Are The Light Of The World”

“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

Matthew 5:14-16

There is a place in Norway, in a valley. From October to March no sunlight hits the town. They do it with mirrors.

The Christian life is similar. We have no light of our own. Jesus provides that light to us. He is the “light of the world.” John the disciple wrote that Christ the true light “shines in the darkness.” Jesus invites us to reflect His light into the darkness around us.

As the apostle Paul reminds us, “For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light.”

Jesus is truly the light of the world.

Reflect the Son and shine for Him.
