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.
Matthew 5:14

You are the light of the world
Jesus Christ, who shone into the world as the perfect light, returned to heaven after His death and resurrection. Now His disciples, who believe in Him and possess new life, are the light of the world. This is both a statement and a call.

People who have the light of life through faith in the Lord Jesus can be light bearers in the dark world and show people something of God. They have the mission to spread light about the living God through their words and behaviour.

As disciples of the Lord, we pray in the restaurant before eating, testifying to our faith in God who is the sustainer of life.
At work, we strive to do nothing wrong and also help an overworked colleague. In doing so, we show people that our God is just and merciful.
We use the opportunities the Lord gives us to introduce the love of God to our fellow human beings and invite them to believe in the Saviour.
Just as a city on a mountain is not hidden from view, so our lives as Christians should be a light that is seen in our surroundings. But we can only spread light to the extent that we stay close to the source of light. Without daily communion with our Lord, we are not able to bear witness to Him.

Today’s reading: 1 Samuel 23:1-13 · Philippians 2:1-11

EVERYONE NEEDS A MIRACLE

Some years ago, I was invited to be the guest speaker at a garden party in an exclusive, highbrow residential area. Because I arrived at the venue quite early, I was made to sit for a while in the house of my host. The house was an exquisite parade of wealth and splendour. I had never seen such brazen display of...More

FOR CHRIST'S SAKE DON'T!

A negative change is generally abhorred by men. Everyone craves progress. We always desire to keep ascending the ladder of success. No one wants to make a u-turn in the journey of greatness. The greatest journey whose end has the greatest significance is the journey to Heaven. This journey is only made in Jesus...More
