You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. (Matthew 5:14 ESV)
One of the songs we like to share when we are presenting music is "We Are," recorded by Kari Jobe.
The words are so powerful: We are the light of the world. We are the city on a hill. We are to let our light shine, to let Christ shine through us.
How will others see Jesus in us if we don’t allow His light to shine through us? If we are living a life that brings glory to Him, then our lives will be an automatic reflection of His light shining through us and outward to others, just as the light from a candle glows outward into the darkness.
Don’t be afraid of what you might say or do to show others the love of the Lord. His love shining through you will light the way!
“Consider the life you live - how do other people perceive your faith? While God doesn't expect you to live in perfection, He desires that you would do all you can to shine forth His light so others will see Him clearly.” - Paul Chappell
