Jesus says that we are "the light of the world". What does that mean? If you put a candle on a stand in a dark room, what happens? You see things that wouldn't be seen if still in the dark. When you receive Him as Lord of your life, He becomes the Light in your life and His light reveals things in your life that wouldn't be seen if still in darkness. If we follow Jesus, then we also reflect His light to the world. If we reflect His light, then the reflection of light will also expose things in dark places. Notice though we simply reflect the light. The light in us is not as bright as the light He is. So although Jesus uses our light to reveal things, ultimately when He is asked to be apart of a life, it is His light that completely reveals all. Being the light of Jesus, it cannot be hidden- just like a city on a hill cannot be hidden. When you drive at night and are approaching a city, the clouds are lit up with color, reflecting the light from the city. Even before you see the city parameters, you can see it's light. May it be so with us. When people approach us, may we be lit up with the Light of His glory. His majesty cannot be hidden, and when He is apart of our lives, His light should be obvious. Are you reflecting His light? ~Leanne~
