Today as Christians all over the world seem to be busy with the rigors of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, we have lost sight of what Jesus told us to be. Jesus as we have stated before in a previous blog said that He is the light of the world and we have the Light on the inside of us. Now Jesus tells us because we are saved and because we have His salvation because of His blood, we now are he Light of the world.
Matthew 5:14 says "You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. 15 No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven." Now that Jesus is with His Father we as Christians must Be the Light that unbelievers look to. we cannot put our lights under a basket and hide any longer because we are that city that sits on a hill. Christians today have their life on display to the world, and sometimes its not fair, but because of who we are and Who's we are causes the world to look to us and have a higher standard than others. the problem is when Christians try to hide or blend in with the darkness of the world.
Christians don't have to loose their swagger, their coolness, or their status because of being a Christian, all we need to do is allow our Light to shine wherever we go. If its hanging wit friends, let your people know who you are and do your best to live up to the reputation of being a Christian. I'm not saying that we have to carry a Bible under our arms or walk around saying God or Jesus says in every other sentence, but be who you are and don't allow your Christian values and standards go away just because others do. Hey y'all let's Be the Light
As always this is Pastor O, I love you and there aint (yes i said aint) nothing you can do about it. PEACE
