(Matthew 5:14-16) "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."
---Jesus Christ
It is a common practice as the days roll on to believe that it is not our job to lead, not our job to take charge, and not our job to help those that aren't saved. I hate to burst the bubble but thats exactly what our savior instructed us to do. We are told to "provide light to everyone in the house" and let our "light shine before men". Jesus clearly wants us to not only live out our lives as dedicated Christians, but also to lead everyone in the world to Christ (this is what is meant by the house). What good are we as Christ's servants if we keep God's glory to ourselves?
Thats right.....NONE! So it is our job to go into the world and minister to those in need and to spread God's Love and share the good promise. May we remember in our day to day affairs that it is our job to help bring people to Christ, we are his ambassadors of Truth and as he leads we should follow and take the light to the darkest depths of the Earth.....
