Is Your Light Shining?

Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”
John 8:12 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.8.12.NASB1995

Jesus, THE Light of Life, gives His followers the Light of life. He has the authority to do so because He is the way, the truth, and the life.¹  Through Jesus we come to the Father.

So what do we do with this light?

Jesus says:
Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 5:16 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.5.16.NASB1995
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.
Matthew 5:14-15 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.5.14-15.NASB1995

Is the light of Jesus shining through you? Are others seeing the living Light in you?

🌹Those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.
