Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” John 8:12 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 The light of the world lives inside of us and sometimes we hide it. We put it under a basket or we even put a blanket over it. You are the light of the world. Everyone is drawn to the life of Christ you live. When we follow Jesus it brings us out of darkness and into His marvelous light. A light that purifies us as well as keeps us warm. Draw closer to Him. He is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path, He guides us while dispersing darkness. The Father deserves all the glory, honor, and praise. Shine bright, there is nothing to hide, darkness can’t stand the light of the world. ACTION Be the light of the world by delighting in Him. Let that joy be your strength to impact somebody around you today. PRAYER Lord, I am a vessel of light. Nothing can contain this marvelous light. Help me to shine to everyone despite my preferences. Give me an uncontainable joy that empowers. I am strengthened by this joy. Help me to hold nothing back and follow Jesus with everything. In Jesus name, amen!
