JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Light Reflection is from Matthew 5:14.

Jesus said, “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.”

Jesus said on one occasion that He is the light of the world, but He also said that His followers are the light of the world. If we are traveling at night and approach a large city, we can see the skyline with its many lights getting brighter and brighter as we move closer and closer.

This is a picture of how we can have an impact on the world with the Gospel. As we reflect the light of Jesus through our words, actions, and attitudes, people will see His light shining through us as they get closer to us and get to know us better.

This Light Reflection inspires us to be a city on a hill as a witness to the world in the Year to Shine.

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year to Shine, today’s Vital Step to a Radiant Faith is a good deed for God.

According to Jesus, this is how we let our light shine. In the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5:14 to 16, Jesus said, “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 others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”

So, what can we do today to shine our light for Jesus? Look for opportunities, let love be the motivation, and watch how God works through those simple steps of obedience to encourage someone with the reality that they are loved by God.

A good deed for God is a vital step to a radiant faith that makes a difference in the world.
