Have you ever observed the play of sunlight refracted through hanging crystals? Those crystals don’t make light themselves; they reflect what’s shining on them.ย
In many ways, we resemble these crystals. Our ultimate purpose is to mirror the light of Jesus to the world. John 1:7-9 says John came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe. John himself was not the light; he was merely a vessel through which the true light, Jesus Christ, could be revealed to all.ย
The same is true for you. You are to shine Jesusโ light to those around you so that they would know the true light of the world, Jesus. Matthew 5:14 (NLT) says You are the light of the world like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.ย
How can we reflect the light of Jesus to those around us? Most importantly we need to be close to Jesus, the real source of light. He gives us all we need to shine and help others see. When we spend time with Him through prayer and reading the Bible the light of Jesus will shine through our lives as we interact with people around us.ย ย
Through acts of love, kindness, and the sharing of hope found in Jesus, we extend His light to others, fulfilling our role as conduits of His grace.ย
So, may we let the light of Jesus shine through us today, illuminating the way for those in need of His love and salvation.ย ย

Solid Ground in a Shifting World
Some things are beautifulโbut they donโt last. Stand at the edge of the ocean and youโll see it: children building sandcastles, only to have the tide wash them away by morning.
A Season Of Transformation
