Matthew 5:16 ” Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.”

A lighthouse doesn’t fire off cannons to call attention to it’s shining…it just shines. Back in Genesis, God spoke light into the darkness…His glory being the bright light that surrounded His Presence. This glory returned in the form of Jesus Christ, “We’ve seen His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father.” (John 1:14) This light of God’s glory forever shing in the face of Jesus. And so as Believers, we are to let our light shine forth…standing out as brightness in a morally perverse and dark world. So how do we go about letting our light shine? We strive for a righteous life daily…showing a Jesus-like compassion to all with humility and a generous heart. For it’s how we live, not in what we say that makes the biggest impart in the people around us.
