Key Scripture:
“You are the light of the world. A town built 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.” – Matthew 5:14–16 (NIV)
Reflection:
Jesus describes His followers as the light of the world. You carry His light into workplaces, homes, schools, and online spaces that may feel spiritually dark. Your life, words, and attitudes can quietly reveal what He is like.
Being a light does not mean being perfect or having all the answers. It means living honestly as someone who belongs to Jesus, owning your mistakes, showing kindness, extending forgiveness, and speaking the truth in love. People are often more impacted by your character than by your arguments.
As you choose to let your light shine, some will be drawn and others may resist, but your job is not to control their response. Your role is to reflect Christ faithfully and let your good works point back to Him. In this way, your everyday life becomes an invitation for others to consider the Gospel.
Prayer:
Jesus, help me to be a light in the places You’ve put me. Give me courage not to hide my faith, but to live openly as Your follower. When opportunities arise, give me words that honour You. Amen.
Today’s Action Step:
Think of one non-believing friend or colleague. Pray for them by name and ask God for an opportunity to share something of your story or invite them to church.
