Live Life Like A Beacon Of Light On A Mountain

Good day armada of Christ! Today, I want to remind us about shining for Jesus! I really love this verse because it's talking about us being the light of the world, which also supports my blog's title too (Light of the world)!

From the Bible, the book of Matthew 5:14-16 says, "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in Heaven."

First of all, the ultimate question is who are we living for or (What do we live for)? Are we living for God? Are we living for the girl next door? Are we living for money? Are we living for our selfish desires? Or are we living for other things in the world I did not mention about? You see, until we learn to live for Jesus only then we can be the light of the world!

What does it mean to be the light of the world? That means to live for Jesus by doing good to others, serving others, loving one another so that the world will praise God, telling the world about the Truth that Jesus has risen from the dead and all we got to do is believe in Him! We are to be the light of the world by shining for Jesus!

What does light do? Light vanquishes darkness, it removes darkness and where there is light, there cannot be darkness.

When you try to walk in darkness without any light, you will stumble around and you won't be able to see where you are going. You will not be sure of where you are at! Which is why you need the light. This is how our world is. Our world is broken, it is a dark world full of sin! It stumbles around without hope and without God, always looking for something else to live for. Which is why what our sinful-dark world needs is light!

Are you willing to sacrifice some of your behaviors, commitments, lifestyle in order to shine for Jesus and be the Light of the world? Are you willing to give Him your entire life to praise Him? Are you wiling to shine like stars and hold out the Truth in the darkest place? Will you deny yourself and take up the cross to follow Jesus?

I believe with the strength of God we can all shine for Jesus! God must be the top priority in every areas of our lives! Be it our family, lifestyle, or even our studies or jobs! It's time for us to take up this challenge and live out the life God wants us to live by shining for Jesus in all that we do!

I just want to encourage you to live life like a beacon of light on a mountain, where all men can see your light so that they may see your good deeds and praise God! Why should we be like a lighthouse? Because a lighthouse is built firmly on the ground, and it radiates a beacon of light to show the way to the lost and those that needs direction. Hence, we are like a lighthouse too, built firmly on the Word of God, shining out a beacon of light to tell the world about the Hope that God has given us! The world needs direction, and we are to tell the world that Jesus is that direction!

It's time to be a beacon of light and the Light of the World my brothers and sisters in Christ! =)
