“You are the light of the world.” Matthew 5:14
Christmas lights are brightly shining. Everywhere we look there are decorative blinking street lights, store lights, and in our own homes there are tree lights and candle lights. They have a special glow. They bring a smile to our face and joy to our hearts. They light up our life!
When we feel the joy of these beautiful lights, we take on a warm glow. We smile more, we share more, we love more. We make those around us feel our joy too! Each of us in our own unique way is a Christmas light.
God sent His only Son, Jesus, to become the Light of the world. He is the true gift of Christmas. If we have prepared our hearts to receive His gift we will become lit from within. Like the Christmas lights we see everywhere, we will be visible to all. Our faces will shine brightly with smiles that are bigger and warmer than ever before. Our hearts will radiate the warmth of our love to all we come in contact with.
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Men do not light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket. They set it on a stand where it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, your light must shine before men so that they may see goodness in your acts and give praise to your heavenly Father.” (Matthew 5:14-17)
Yes, in our own unique way, each of us is a Christmas Light!
