(TEXT : Matthew 5:14)
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
FOCUS :
As believers we are the light of this world, even though we face darkness everyday and even everywhere we go; our light should not be compromised. We shine for the sinners to see the way to the Kingdom of God, and even for us ourselves to follow the path of righteousness. We bring souls into the Kingdom of God when our light is actively on.
Proverbs 4:14
Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.
Proverbs 4:18
But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
In addition, there are many people around us who are still struggling and stumbling in the dark: our duty as light here on earth, is to show them the direction. Anywhere that there is light shining, the darkness has no right to stay, darkness has to bow and fade away immediately. As light, we should never be afraid of who we are and we should keep shining because that is who we truly are.
2 Peter 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
Finally, there is no limit to how far we can go in the journey of life, as long we have our light on. Darkness will always come and will always persistent to overshadow our light; but as a light, we must not be reminded of who we are. Darkness could mean: barrenness, jobless, single, failure, disappointment, rejection, reproach, backstabbing, backbiting, hatred, pride, subjugation etc. but whatever might have be your own darkness, keep your light shining and make it brighter. Increase your light to be brighter and you will become better.
Proverbs 2:8
He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
Proverbs 2:20
That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
