Few could deny the beauty and influence of a full moon and the glow it spreads across the heavens and the earth below. Especially awesome is moonlight shining on the snow covered grasslands of South Dakota in the dead of winter; it's bright enough to enable a driver to kill the headlights and drive by moonlight! And to think, the moon only REFLECTS the light of the sun. It does not create its own light.
So too with us when Jesus urges us not to conceal a lamp under the bed or under another vessel, but to place it on a lampstand to give light to others. (cf. Lk 8: 16). The light we reflect comes from the SON and bounces off our very beings: it is the kindness, sensitivity, compassion and love of Jesus that is very visible by our presence. It doesn't need words, but shines from our very being. We are the light of the world!
