You are the light of the world (Matthew 5:14)
In this world people will analyse every
aspect of our life. Also they will analyse the conduct and testimony of the
church we are planted.
Bible says “You are the light of the world”.
This clearly suggests that there is no other light. The world has no other
light. If we do not give light, there is no other source to light for the world
to look on.
In the tabernacle we find seven branched candlestick.
Unless there was oil in the candlestick and ignited it gives no light. In the
same way we as church must give light being filled with the Holy Spirit. Apart
from the candlestick in the Holy place, there is no other source.
The purpose of our life in this earth is to
be a light and to illuminate the life of others in this world through Jesus
Christ. The light of Christ shines in this sinful world. So we receive grace
and truth imparted for our lives.
Jesus Christ illuminates every person who
hears his gospel. Apart from this, there is no other light by which we may be
saved. After receiving salvation through grace we are the light of the world.
Let your light shine always before men.
