In the beginning one of the first things God said – to be, was light! Gen 1:3 (MKJV) And God said, Let there be light. And there was light. As a result, the universes are still expanding today.
After the #creation and order was set into place. Now, His gives His Word to be a light to our feet, that is to our path. This way, we don’t fall into the snares of the evil one. But even more than that, it is so we can see the truth in His Word and follow Him to safety, security, and blessings in every area of our life. Psa 119:105 (MKJV) Your Word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path.
During #Jesus ministry on the earth, He said this in Matthew 5:14-16 (MKJV) You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
Mat 5:15 Nor do men light a lamp and put it under the grain-measure, but on a lampstand. And it gives light to all who are in the house.
Mat 5:16 Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in Heaven.
Notice: We don’t shine the Light in peoples eyes, to blind them! Instead, we simply just do what “Light does,” we shine! In doing so, they see our “Good works” a.k.a. Our shine! It gives glory to the Father and as they see the light of the gospel, alive in us. It draws them toward the light and with a curious-open, but sometimes skeptical heart, they come inside the house and light is given to them, as well.
My friends, God has given us “His Glorious Light,” the gospel of His Son and it is “Light/Life” to them that find it!
You are truly, the light of the world, Jesus. And with Your light we have become like a city that is set on a hill that cannot be hidden. Oh Hallelujah!
