Light in Darkness

In my grandson's room, there are glow-in-the-dark "stars" stuck on the ceiling and on the walls. These "stars" are made of some kind of plastic, which, after having been exposed to the light all day, give off a glow in the dark. It's neat to see the stars "come out" when we turn off the light at night.As Christians, we are supposed to be "glow-in-the-dark" people.

Jesus said that we are to be a light in a dark world. We are to absorb His light, and then be the light. Notice that Jesus didn't say, Ye are the light of the church. That might be easier. On Sunday morning, everyone looks great! But Jesus said, Ye are the light of the world. That means we have to be out in the world. We have to talk with people who are out in the world. We have to bring the light of Jesus and the light of the gospel to those who are lost. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Are we out there shining for Jesus? Is our light His light? Have we been exposed to His light so we can glow in the dark?
