"You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden."
Matthew 5:14
The uncertainty of the times and the darkness that seems to loom over the culture could cause one to be anxious. The love of many has grown cold. Apprehension seems to be among God's people.
The nature of the church is light. The existence of the church is to be a light in the world. This light is not something the church possesses of itself. It's God's divine grace working within the lives of His people.
The Lord has set His church in a dark world to be light. It cannot be hidden or extinguished. You can observe the skyline of a city that illuminates the night. You can often identify a city by its skyline.
May we be recognized by the light of Christ in our lives. Ask the Lord to enable us to be a brighter witness for Him in our everyday lives. He will empower us to do so. The intention God has for His people is that we would be light in this world for Him.
In Christ Alone,
Pastor Wight
