Title: “The Light of the World
Scripture Reading: Matthew 5:14 (NIV)
“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.”
Message:
In a world often filled with darkness, we are called to be the light. Today, we explore Matthew 5:14, where Jesus declares that we are the light of the world, shining brightly for His glory.
You Are the Light:
These words of Jesus remind us of our role as His followers. We are the bearers of His light, tasked with illuminating the world with His love, truth, and grace.
A Town on a Hill:
Just as a town built on a hill cannot be hidden, our faith and the light of Christ within us should not be concealed. Our actions and words should be a beacon of hope and goodness, visible to all.
Shine for His Glory:
Our purpose is not to draw attention to ourselves but to shine for the glory of God. By living out our faith, we point others toward the source of our light, which is Jesus Christ.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we thank you for making us the light of the world. Help us to shine brightly for your glory, illuminating the lives of those around us. May our actions and words reflect your love and truth, leading others to know you. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
