Ephesians 5:8 For once you were darkness, but now in the Lord you are light. Live as children of light.
Have you ever met someone who “lights up a room” when he/she walks in? They seem to draw people to them because of this quality, this incandescence. And, as cliché as it sounds, they can truly make the world a brighter (and I think happier) place to live in. Why does someone seem to “light up a room?” I think it is because of their outlook on life and also in the way they conduct their life.
As Christians, we are called to be the light of Christ.
“This little light of mine,
I’m going to let it shine…”
…is part of a Sunday School song. It is also a maxim adults can live by as well. So simple, yet so all-encompassing. For adults, we can use the “adult” lyrics to a similar contemporary Christian song…
“We are the light of the world,
We are a city on a hill,
We are the light of the world,
And we gotta, we gotta , we gotta let the light shine.”
Whether young or old, letting your light shine is our life’s focus. Spreading the good news of Jesus’ life, death and resurrection will let the light shine to others. Showing and sharing the love of Christ with all lets your light shine.
