Jesus said, “You are the Light of the World”. A city 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 men, that they may see your good deeds and
praise your father in heaven. (Matthew 5:14-15)
We cannot hide a city that is sitting on top a hill. Its light at night
can be seen for miles. If we live for Jesus Christ, we will also glow like
lights, showing others what Christ is like. Many Christians today are hidden
from sight, reluctant to be identified as Christians. Such a Christian is like
a light that never gives light. If a lamp doesn`t help people see it as
worthless. Our life must show other people how to find god and how to live for
him, resentment, embarrassment, and stubbornness of heart or disobedience could
keep us from shining. Even worries of this life could hinder. Our focus should
be on the truthful world of god. The light of Jesus truth is revealed to us. As
we obey and put god’s teaching into practice, our light will shine. Your will
not be hidden anymore.
Let it shine all the time.
