Light of the world

Light of the world - A Light also for you

A stylized interpretation of Matthew 5:13-16. In this passage, Jesus teaches that his followers are to be a light unto the world.

“"You are the salt of the earth.

But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?

It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.

"You are the light of the world.

A city on a hill cannot be hidden.

Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.

In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.”

(Matthew 5:13-16 NIV)

*

“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7 NIV)

“Whoever loves his brother lives in the light, and there is nothing in him to make him stumble.” (1 John 2:10 NIV)

*

"At times our own light goes out and

is rekindled by a spark from another person.

Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude

of those who have lighted the flame within us."

- Albert Schweitzer

*

In darkness there is no choice.

It is light that enables us to see the differences between things;

and it is Christ who gives us light.

- Mrs. C. T. Whitemell

*

"Nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket,

but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.

Let your light shine before men in such a way

that they may see your good works,

and glorify your Father who is in heaven."

Matthew 5:15-16

*

Dear God, give that the flame of love in Christ may continue to burn in me,

and that the fire of the belief will continue to burn

and by others will light the fire

to be a lasting beacon light for Your Kingdom to be found and to be entered.
