Just as for Paul & Barnabas here in Antioch, Jesus commissions all Believers to reflect His light to others. We are told to shine brightly like the sun. But why? “Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16) Everyday you have the opportunity to cast light into the darkness by radiating happiness & the joy of the Lord… brightening someone else’s day. So, let your light shine! For just as God’s original creative Word made light where there was no light, (Genesis 1:2-3) so now God’s creative Word (The Gospel Message) gives Spiritual light & understanding.
