Matthew 5:14-15New King James Version (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.
Jesus commanded that we should be the light of the world. A light that shines so bright in the midst of darkness. A shining light even a small portion of it will always be visible in the human eye. Have you imagine a place so dark and you light up a lighter lets say with a very minimal portion of light on it, what do you think will happen to the place? Even the dark surroundings is still with much higher percentage than that light, your eyes will still be drawn to that light. Light always prevails. But that lighter will never come up with flame without its liquified gas inside. Same goes with every lamp stands in every streets and parks and houses, it will never ever going to produce a light without a bulb inside and a source of power. That is the same scenario for us people. How can you be that light of this world without a source of power? Before we can even lit up a little bit of light there must be something within us that enable that light, or let's say there should be Someone. Jesus is the light. It is written that Jesus is the Word that gives life and light in this world so darkness can never comprehend. (John 1:3-5) In that case, if we have Jesus in our life, if we have him within us no matter what, He will surely going to shine bright out from us. We will serve us His torch guiding the lost to the right way and eventually know Him. Would you like to serve as a lampstand? A torch for Jesus? You don't need to do that much but to accept Jesus within you, all power comes from Him. Just be willing to be that instrument of light and let Jesus, "the real source" light up from you so many can be save. |
