TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: “You are the light of the world- like a city on the hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives off light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.” Matthew 6: 14-16
TODAY’S MESSAGE: Jesus was the light on the hilltop when he walked this earth. He shined brightly wherever he went and to whomever he spoke. When he spoke, he left no doubt as to who he was. He was like a magnet; he attracted all kinds of people even though all did not believe Him. He spread his peace and love even though there were times when those who did not believe, created chaos and anguish around Him. As His followers we also are to spread his peace and love. We are not to hide his word and our beliefs under a basket or in the closet. We are to also be the light that shines brightly on the hilltop. We are to be able lead others to Christ and do with the love and peace of Christ Jesus. We are to be able to withstand the resistance of those who do not believe. We are to be able to withstand the anger spewed by those who think our Lord’s ways are not for them. We are to be able to speak the Word of God to all without fear of what may happen to us or how those around us will respond. We have a responsibility, and we are to take it seriously. We are not playing a game on the playground of life. Instead, we are playing a game of life or death. For those who believe will receive eternal life but those who resist and do not believe will receive condemnation, judgment and eternal life in hell itself. We have the gift of the Holy Spirit who gives us guidance and strength. Our prayers are always heard from our God in heaven and our praises do nothing but please him. Our faith continues to grow as we continue to spread his word. Stay strong and continue forward as we are tools of our great God in heaven! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
