Reflecting Christ’s Light

Bible in a Year: Leviticus 19-20, Matthew 27:51-66

In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.
John 1:4

Today's Scripture & Insight: John 1:4-9

To capture the beauty of reflective light in his landscape oil paintings, artist Armand Cabrera works with a key artistic principle: "Reflected light is never as strong as its source light." He observes that novice painters tend to exaggerate reflected light. He says, "Reflected light belongs to the shadow and as such it must support, not compete with the lighted areas of your painting."

We hear similar insight in the Bible concerning Jesus as "the light of all mankind" (John 1:4). John the Baptist "came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe" (v. 7). The gospel writer tells us, "He himself [John] was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light" (v. 8).

As with John, we're chosen by God to reflect Christ's light to those living in the shadows of an unbelieving world. This is our role, as one source says, "perhaps because unbelievers are not able to bear the full blazing glory of His light firsthand."

Cabrera teaches his art students that "anything that has direct light falling on it in a scene becomes a source of light itself." Similarly, with Jesus as "the true light that gives light to everyone" (v. 9), we can shine as witnesses. As we reflect Him, may the world be amazed to see His glory shine through us.

Reflect & Pray
How do you reflect the light of Christ? In what shadowy areas of the world can you shine His transforming light?

Shine on me, beautiful Light of God. Please help me to shine Your light in the shadows of an unbelieving world.
