This little light—I’m going to let it shine---do you remember this is Sunday School? I do.
Our Heavenly Father—we come to you today to learn how to light our
light and let it shine to show how much we love You. Blessed all who
receives this message today and every day. Amen
“What
I tell you in darkness you must speak in the daylight, and what is
whispered in your ear you must shout from the housetops.” Matthew
10:27
Jesus is Teaching Here What The True discipleship means. It is fearing
not man, but God. To live in His Word and to proclaim it to all, not
in quiet tones or secretly, but loudly and in an abundance voice. To
shout what the Lord tells us from the rooftops. He wants us to
understand through His teachings that what we have eternally, through
Him is much more important than things that can be acquired on Earth.
To fear not what man can do to our body, but what God can do to our
soul.
In
these passages from the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus tells us exactly like
it is. He is firm, and precise in just what is expected of Christians.
We are held accountable for the light within us. This light must shine
brightly from us to others like the far reaching effect of a
lighthouse. To whom much is given, much shall be required. Jesus wants
us to listen and trust in what we hear and to act on it. I think this
was also a prompt by Jesus for His followers to realize the importance
of evangelizing and to make hast in doing it.
But what happens when we don’t let our light shine? In Matthew 5:14-16
(ESV), Jesus says that “You are the light of the world. A city set on a
hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put in under a
basket, 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.”
