Ye are the light of the world.
A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.
Neither do men light a candle,
and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick;
and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
Let your light so shine before men,
that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
God wants our light to be
Shinning not only that souls may
be saved, but that he would get the glory.
People who have not yet realized that
Jesus came to die for them do
not yet belong to the family of God.
They are still in darkness.
God loves all the people in the world.
St John 3:16
For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not
perish, but have everlasting life.
He wants to become their father.
The only way He can become their
father is if they join his family.
It is our Christian duty to
invite people to join the family of God.
Have you ever met someone
wearing a bright red suit ?
Its hard not to notice.
It stands out very clearly.
The same should be true with us as Christians
and members of the family of God.
Jesus called us the light of the world.
Our good works,
the way we conduct ourselves;
should so reflect the life of
Christ in us that people
will notice the difference.
Its not just what we say but also
the things we do that will
tell others about Jesus.
We are to be a light to the world.
The world in which we live is
under the power of darkness
Colossians 1:12-14
Giving thanks unto the Father,
which hath made us meet to be
partakers of the inheritance
of the saints in light:
Who hath delivered us from the
power of darkness,
and hath translated us into
the kingdom of his dear Son:
In whom we have
redemption through his blood,
even the forgiveness of sins:
There are numerous people in the world today
who do not have a clue about what life is about.
Without Jesus they are walking in darkness,
and they are spiritually dead.
If we do not tell them about Jesus they
will never know about his love.
A person who dies without knowing
the Lord Jesus Christ faces an
eternity separated from God,
not to mention they go to hell.
Read the parable of Jesus
in Matthew 22:1-14.
It is expedient that we tell
people about the love of Christ.
Without the preaching of
the gospel souls will not be saved.
The number one reason why
so many of us Christians shy away from
telling others about Jesus is fear.
We often shudder at the thought
that they will mock and ridicule us.
Jesus was mocked at himself.
Read
Matthew 27:27-31
Then the soldiers of the governor
took Jesus into the common hall,
and gathered unto him the
whole band of soldiers.
And they stripped him,
and put on him a scarlet robe.
And when they had platted
a crown of thorns,
they put it upon his head,
and a reed in his right hand:
and they bowed the knee before him,
and mocked him, saying,
Hail, King of the Jews!
And they spit upon him, and took the reed,
and smote him on the head.
And after that they had mocked him,
they took the robe off from him,
and put his own raiment on him,
and led him away to crucify him.
Nevertheless his love for
us brought him through
all the mockery, hatred and
evil men did to him.
Ignorance is the main reason people
make a mockery of the gospel of Jesus.
2 Corinthians 4:4
In whom the god of this world hath
blinded the minds of them
which believe not, lest the
light of the glorious gospel of Christ,
who is the image of God,
should shine unto them.
Satan is the god of this world system.
By the world we refer to the
deception, wickedness and
evil that is dominating
the hearts and minds of human beings.
People's minds have been
blinded by his deception.
Do not take it personally
when people do not immediately
accept the love of Jesus but
rather mock you.
Remember that you yourself
were once like them,
walking in darkness,
totally ignorant of the love of Jesus
and the wonderful family of God.
The key to continuously sharing the
gospel is to keep our focus on
Jesus. Imagine the joy these people will receive
when they finally understand and accept Jesus.
You would have been
instrumental in saving a soul.
There is always great rejoicing
in heaven when a person accepts Jesus
and becomes a member of the family of God .
We also fulfil the great commission that
Jesus has committed to all of us.
Matthew 28:18-20,
And Jesus came and spake unto them,
saying, All power is given unto
me in heaven and in earth.
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost:
Teaching them to observe
all things whatsoever I have
commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway,
even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Will you witness to someone today?
Father God,
We thank you so much
for someone once shared the gospel with us.
Lord Please, help us to be a willing vessel.
Please give us a willing heart that
WE WILL GO OUT AND SHARE THE
GOSPEL WITH SOMEONE TODAY.
Thank you Lord so much for
this great tool that you
have placed into our hands call the internet.
Help us to use it for your glory.
In Jesus Name
Amen
