“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid. Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a bushel, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”
- Matthew 5:14-19
Reflection:
Do we ever hold back from being a Christian in public?
Christ instructs us, His disciples, to let our light shine before the world. Part of our purpose in life is to be the light in the world.
When we live our Faith everywhere we go, we will ‘shine’ with Christ’s light, with the light of: love, joy, compassion, and peacefulness.
When there are opportunities for us to choose the Christ-like path, let us choose to live our Faith out loud, so that we may do our part as we ask in the Lord’s Prayer making, “on earth as it is in heaven”.(1)
