Let your Light Shine

Have you ever been in a pitch dark cave, turned a flash light on and saw how it illuminated the whole cave? Simply an amazing sight.  That is what a believer is in this dark world.

We all know that Christ is the light of the world, as it shows us in John 8:12 '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." 

As believers, we are children of God.  Jesus said in Matthew 5:14 'You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.'  

Jesus compared believers to light because they have the Holy Spirit living within them and demonstrate what God can do in a transformed life.  It is by our example and how we live that people can see Christ through us.   In Ephesians 5:8-9 'For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth)'.

As children of God we are to be walking examples so that Christ's light will shine through us to a dark world.  Through Christ we can do all things - He is our strength and our source of power.   Live for Him each day.
