Let Your Light Shine!

Have you seen many Christmas lights yet? It is always fun to see the different lights that people put up at Christmas. Do you ever wonder how many folks know that Jesus said that he was the light of the world and that those who follow him will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life. Jesus told those who heard his sermon on the mount that they were the light of the world.(Matthew 5:14) In verse 16 of the same chapter he said, "Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." I wonder just how much light we put out to the world around us. Maybe as much as a 5 watt bulb or a 25 watt or 50 watt or 75 watt or just perhaps some as much as 100 watts. In the dark of night a 5 watt bulb helps a great deal and a 100 watt bulb seems like a spotlight. May the Lord help each of us to put out as much light as possible for folks to be drawn to the light.
