“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden” — Matthew 5:14.
The world around us can often seem dark—dark with confusion, conflict, crime, and moral decay. But Jesus sent His followers as lights into that darkness. He didn’t say you should be the light; He said, “You are the light of the world”. That means wherever we go—in our homes, workplaces, schools, sports activities, shopping or communities--we manifest the glow of Christ when we care for, assist, serve or forgive others.
A small light can make a big difference. One candle can dispel the darkness of an entire room. Likewise, one Christian living faithfully can bring hope, clarity, and comfort to those around us who have lost their way. Remember—the intensity of our light depends on our connection to the true source--Jesus Christ. The closer we walk with Jesus, the brighter we shine.
Let each of us strive to reflect His light through kind words, honest living, and humble service. Let’s be the example that leads others to glorify our Father in heaven (Matthew 5:16). The world doesn’t need any more darkness—it needs more light. Let’s each make it our mission this week to be a light for Christ in 2025 and beyond!
Be a Light for Christ in 2025
