Every soul is enlightened when he listens to the word of God for “God is light and in Him is no darkness at all” (1 John 1:5), and when “we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin” (1 John 1:7).

We then become “the light of the world, a city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matt. 5:14-16). This is powerfully and simply put by Jesus, that no one can misunderstand.

We as Christians are the only true light in any community as we live and teach the Word of God. Are you a brightly burning candle that gives the light of God’s word to all who are about you, or has your light gone out and left only a burned-out blackened log?
