Day 5: Lights
Matthew 4:12-17, Isaiah 9:1-3, Matthew 5:14-16
Think on the different expressions of lights that people put up during Christmas.
How is Jesus the light of the world?
My first response to this is, that He just is! He is compared to the light I believe because it shines and is seen in absolute darkness. And when the light is present, darkness can no long exist. It is the opposite of darkness.
Why do you think that Jesus refers to his followers as the light of the world? What would that mean for your life to be a light in your relationships and situations?
I believe he calls us the light of the world, because we represent him in this world. We are his lights strung out throughout the whole world, sharing his light in the darkness. (sounds like everything you have ever heard, but it really is TRUE)
I think in my life to be "light" is to always point to the one TRUE light. And to always, NO MATTER WHAT, represent him and who he truly is to me. Even if others perceive the Jesus to be someone that he is not, I will stand for who he truly is... the one TRUE thing.
How has your life been a light to those around you?
You know, a light helps you find your way in darkness. It helps you see things clearly so that you can live! It helps cheer your mood. It is warming, and inviting, and faithful. I hope to be all of these things to the people around me, by His grace.
