“You are the light of the world…” - Matthew 5:13

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden…

“…your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Heavenly Father.”

From Matthew 5:13-16

 

MEDITATION

“…Let the Light of Christ shine brightly in and through you for all to see…

 

“Jesus used the image of Light and a lamp to further His illustration of God's transforming work in and through us. Lamps in the ancient world served a vital function, much like they do today. They enable people to see and work in the dark and to avoid stumbling. The Jews also understood "Light" as symbol or expression of the inner Beauty, Truth, and Goodness of God. In His Light we see Light ( Psalm 36:9). His word is a lamp that guides our steps (Psalm 119:105). God's grace not only dispels the darkness in our lives, it also fills us with the Light of Christ's Truth, Wisdom, Joy, and Peace.

 

“Jesus used the image of a lamp to describe how His disciples are to live in the Light of His Truth and Love. Just as natural Light illuminates the darkness and enables one to see cleary, so the Light of Christ shines in the hearts of believers and enables us to see the heavenly reality of God's kingdom (Ephesians 5:13-14). Our mission is to be Light-bearers of Jesus Christ so that others may see the Truth of the Gospel and be freed from the blindness of sin and deception.

 

“There is great freedom and Joy for those who live in the Light of God's Truth and Goodness. Do you know the Joy and Freedom of living in God's Light?”

 

PRAYER

“Almighty God, You guide me by the Light of Your saving Truth. Fill my heart and mind with Your Light and Truth and free me from the blindness of sin and deception that I may see Your ways clearly and understand Your will for my life. May I radiate Your #Light and Truth to others in word and deed.”
