“Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house” (Matthew 5:15).
It would be foolish for us, as reflectors of God’s light, to try to hide it. We must display His light so others can see it. Our writer states, “we ought to shine brightest at home. These people know best whether we truly reflect the Light of Christ. It’s not about how bright we are, but about how much we reflect the Savior.”
If our family and friends can’t see how we reflect Christ, will other people with whom we come in contact be able to see the difference only He can make in people’s lives? If sin is keeping you from being a reflector, how will others see the True Light? Come to Jesus, ask Him to forgive you, and light your candlestick. Keep it lit for all the world to see.
