In Matthew 5:14-16, Jesus tells us, “You are the
light of the world ”
We used to live at one of the higher elevations in
Butler Co., Ohio, and on a clear night the
sky is awesome with countless number of stars. One thing that my wife watches is
the moon, and no she isn’t a moon worshiper but a creator worshiper! In the
course of 30 days the moon appears to change. Sometimes it is just a sliver of
light. Then it will grow as the days go by to a quarter, half, then 3 quarters
of light. Then especially it seems in the Fall the whole moon will be glowing
an will light up our whole farm!
This is not light created by the moon. It cannot
generate any illumination on its own. The light that we see is based on how the
moon is turned toward the sun. We see a little or a lot. When it is positioned
just right we get the whole effect.
I’m here to tell you that is
how God wants us to position ourselves so that we will be turned just so right
with God and on His path of righteousness that we will be illuminating the full
light of Jesus Christ in our lives, in our homes, in our families, and at our
church. We cannot generate any light of our own. It all comes from God’s son, Jesus
Christ!
Be wise today and always - reflect the Son's light in your life.
