"Ye are the light of the world, a city that is set on a hill cannot be hid." ...Matthew 5: 14

We are all called to be bright lights in this dark world. When a city is set on a hill, the light brightly shines for all to see. The Bible tells us, "it cannot be hid." We are to let our light shine before men, that others may see our good works and glorify God. Light is symbolic of truth and life, which is found in our Savior.

Without Jesus in our life, we would have no light. He lights up our life with His love each day. We are called to share His life and love with others. We can reflect His glory, if we let Him reign in our lives. Light reveals, and the Scriptures tell us, "the entrance of God's Word giveth light and understanding to the simple." (Psalms 119: 130) Spiritual light brings true Christian growth and maturity into our lives.

Because of the darkness of sin, Jesus came into this world to die in our place, that we might have eternal life. Our soul is likened unto a ship, sailing on the seas of time. Just as a ship must have the guidance of light to navigate it's course, we must also have the light of our Lord to guide us, as we travel through this world.

There are many today walking in darkness, who have not received this marvelous light. Some have no hope for the future. We have God's light within our hearts. When all glory is given to the Lord, God's light will draw others to Jesus.

May we always seek to be 'light bearers' and realize we can do nothing, without the light of the Lord. His light illuminates and warms hearts as He reveals truth and life. With Him, we can do all things by faith, as He strengthens us. May we be 'beacons of truth' as we seek to let our lights shine daily for Jesus.

We give thanks for Jesus, who is our Lighthouse. He will always guide us safely, until we reach our final destination. If it wasn't for Jesus, our Lighthouse, where would our ship be?

Blessings in Christ,
