Devotion 12/5, Light of the world
You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.
Matthew 5:14
In this passage Jesus is calling Christians a light in this world of darkness. In John 8:12, He calls Himself the light of the world, the relationship between these verses is that Jesus is the Source of light, and we who know Him as Savior are the reflectors of that light. Our function is to shine for Him in the midst of this sin darkened world.
O Holy God, please strengthen me so that with courage and compassion, I might display Jesus’ light to the lost and dark world around me. In the name of Jesus, the Light of life, I pray. Amen.
