ARE WE SHINING

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”

Matthew 5:16 KJV

Do we spend most of our time watching television and pursuing our own interests or are we using that time to tell the lost about the Christ of Calvary Who loves them so much He died for them?  Our Scripture verse instructs us to let our light shine so they will know we have a loving Heavenly Father.

We can’t let the light of Jesus shine through us if we don’t get out of our comfort zone and let others see Jesus shining through us.  “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life” (John 8:12).

Are we serving Jesus with all our heart, all our time and with all our talents?  To serve Jesus, we have to get out of our comfort zone and tell others that Jesus loves them so much He died on the cross for their sins so they can be saved.  Have we allowed Jesus to be first in our heart, in our life and in all we do?

Jesus got out of His comfort zone.  He left His Father, His home and all that He had to come to earth on the mission His Father gave Him.  He came into the world as a Baby but He grew up and endured a pain and an agony that you and I will never know and He died for our sins on the cross.  What love He has for us.

Precious Heavenly Father, there are no words to tell You how much we love You and appreciate You.  Thank You for giving Jesus to be our Saviour.  Jesus, thank You for loving us and for dying on the cross for our sins.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
