Matthew 5:13-16
Dear brethren,
As I sit here writing this message, I can easily see through window that the sun has not yet risen. I see a street light off in the distance, but it's light does not illumate my back yard. The fact that the sun has not risen does not worry me for I know that the sun is constant. The sun will surely rise and, like every day before, will shine its light upon this side of the world.
Are we as constant as the sun? Every day that we rise from our night's slumber, does our light shine upon those whom we encounter? The people who live in the dark would should see the light of the Lord within our lives. They should look at us and see righteousness and godly behavior. From our mouths, they should only hear things which edify.
Before we leave our homes and face the darkness of the world, let us remind ourselves of our responsibility to let our light shine before people. Here is Mathew 5:13-16 presented for your consideration.
Matthew 5:13-16
13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.
14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
In Love,
John Duvall
