Matthew 5:14-16 (NKJV) 14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 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. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
In this dark world that we live in, we may be the only light that some people ever see.
We may be the only hint of God that some people ever experience in their entire lifetime.
We may be the only example of Christ that some people ever encounter.
The things we do and the words we speak can have a lasting affect on the people around us, for good or for evil.
As followers of Christ, His ambassadors, we need to make sure that the lasting impression that we leave is one of light and love, not of darkness, hatred and judgment.
So let’s be careful with our words and our actions. We never know what people are going through and if we treat them in a Christlike way, it may just be what is needed to give them a gentle nudge into the arms of our Savior.
You are the light of the world. Shine brightly.
