Matthew 5:14-16 “You are the light of the world. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
In these verses Jesus describes our function as God’s people. In one word it is influence. When we live according to God’s word, we will have a profound influence on the world we live in.
Wherever there is light, darkness is dispelled. In your corner of the world, reach out to those who are hurting and sad, those who are hopeless and destitute. Ignite a ray of hope in them. Give them a reason to smile.
