Jesus said I am the light of the world and then he said you are the light of the world!
Question
What are you doing with your light?
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
Be the light of nations isa. 42:6 49:6
The world needs that light and it is through the Disciples that it is most visible
The call to Christians is to shine in the cosmos
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
How do we let this happen ?
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
Shinning means letting others see God in us
Let your light so shine that means may see your good works and glorify your father in heaven
Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
