Carry the Light
John 1:1-9
In the Bible, light is equated with good. For instance, Jesus said, “I have come as Light into the world” (John 12:46). Once we trust Him as our Savior, He lives within us through the indwelling Holy Spirit. This means that when we’re saved, we have the light of Christ (John 8:12).
Before Jesus ascended into heaven, He instructed His followers to “make disciples of all the nations” (Matthew 28:19-20). In other words, we must carry the light around world. But how do we do this? Here are three ways:
1. God will send some of us abroad to share the truth of Jesus. There are people in every nation who have never heard about salvation, and we can go as missionaries to tell them.
2. The Father also calls us to spread the good news right where we are. The hope of the gospel is needed in our neighborhoods, families, and workplaces.
3. The Lord asks His followers to give of the resources He’s provided, whether money, talents, or gifts. He wants us to be generous so the message of salvation can be proclaimed everywhere.
Are you willing to tell others about Jesus in whatever way the Lord has in mind?
Ask Him how He’d like you to share His light in the world.
Prayer:
Lord, let me be a vessel of Your light.
Where there is darkness, help me bring warmth.
Where there is sorrow, let me offer comfort.
Where there is doubt, may I reflect Your truth.
Use my hands to serve, my words to uplift,
and my life to quietly shine with Your love.
Not for my glory, but so others may see You
and be drawn to the hope only You can give.
Amen!
