Isaiah 60:10. NKJV.
I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. Isaiah 61:10
Jesus tells his followers that they will be the ones to carry his light forth into the dark places of the world and the human heart. Jesus Christ is the light of the world because he is the source of the light which proceedeth forth from the presence of God to fill the immensity of this world. His light is the true light that lightens every man that comes into the world.
We are to be the light of God to this dark world. How? We\’re to lead morally, to point the way to God, to warn them of the dangers ahead, to serve, give, and sacrifice to show them the love of God. We will change the world by showing one small kindness at a time will surely go a long way. You must learn to show a little kindness wherever you found yourself.
Jesus says that we should shine our light, so that others may see our “good works.” Notice that Jesus doesn’t tell us to talk about our light because Talk is cheap. He calls us to go into the action of doing, Jesus tells us to show our faith through our good works – by what we do and how we act by so doing His Father who is in heaven will be glorified.
14 “You are the light of the world.(A) A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.(B) 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others,(C) that they may see your good deeds(D) and glorify(E) your Father in heaven. (Matthew 5:14-16).
Recognize You are likened to be a house built on a mountain top which can not be hidden before all men. Meaning you are like an Open Door where people must want to come in and derive Joy. Every day you have an opportunity to be a light in someone\’s life, people who comes to you must have reason (s) to rejoice and be glad because they will go back with some thing tangible that may impact on them positively. It may not necessarily be a material gain perhaps words of wisdom that can also influence their own decisions in life.
Staying with our Lord Jesus Christ has actually robbed off on us if you\’re His Sons and Daughters indeed. His presence has brought light in our lives and in the actions we take For He is the Fountain of Life Through His Light We can See Light. He encourages us to Act in these Moments when we have some of these opportunities to led others who have been under the influence of darkness present themselves once for us to Point Them to Jesus Christ who is the Light of the world.
Salvation gives us every reason to be joyful and glad. Jesus Christ has stripped us of all sin and darkness, and He has given us light. He has made us pure before the Father\’s eyes. The way a bridegroom would adorn His bride, is the way Christ has adorned us, out of His love for us.
Remain Blessed and Thanks for Reading.
