The Light Jesus Brings

Tuesday, February 25, 2020 Some material taken from Add A Little Salt
You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

The Light Jesus Brings
Light is a necessary and needed commodity.  It brings warmth and clarity.  It helps us feel safe and gives us confidence. Christ’s light for the world shines through transformed believers. Every believer is meant to be a point of light to a dark world.
To those of us who love the light, it is easy to find, but there are times in life when the darkness tries to consume us. Those are the times we have to find the light inside our hearts.  The hope we have in Jesus sparks and we can find our way from the darkness and into His light. The light of Jesus in our hearts can never be extinguished by Satan and his darkness.  In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.  John 1:4-5 And it never will.
His light is life-giving and healing. It is revealing and freeing. When we seek His light, we will never walk in darkness and we will always have Him. Seek the light Jesus gives and pass it on to everyone around you.
It is our responsibility to be a point of light to a dark world, to carry the light of Jesus to everyone. Jesus clearly says our purpose is to make a difference:but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16
When we are living in the light of His glory, we can’t help but be a light to the rest of the world, and most of the time, we don’t even realize we are shining.  it is a natural consequence of living in His light.  When we live our life under His control, we will radiate His light and love. 

 His light brings clarity. 
His light brings warmth. 
His light brings safety. 
His light brings salvation to all. 
His light brings all good things.
Only the redeeming light of Jesus can draw us out of the darkness of sin and into His grace and forgiveness. Take His light and run with it. Let if fall all over you and consume you. Let it rain down on your life and spill over to everyone around you.
