“… let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” – Matthew 5:16
Christianity isn’t a ‘religion’ that you tuck in your pocket for safe keeping. Based on its teachings, it’s the one true belief system that deals with the problem of sin. That solution is found in Jesus Christ, God’s Son. Our redemption from sin isn’t something we should hide in our hearts. We should wear it around our neck as a woman would a precious jewel pendant so everyone knows the hope that is within us.
But what of those who receive the gift of grace and then place it on the shelf in their closet like the ugly tie they received from Aunt Tillie for Christmas? We mustn’t hide our light or allow it to dim. We represent the one hope this world has. To not warn people of the consequences of sin is like walking past a burning building where you know people are asleep. Wake them up! Shake them up! Embrace the truth you have found and let the light of your salvation shine brightly so all may see. Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
