Let Your LIght Shine

A Lamp on a Stand

²¹ He said to them, “Do you bring in a lamp to put it under a bowl or a bed? Instead, don’t you put it on its stand? ²² For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open. ²³ If anyone has ears to hear, let them hear.”

²⁴ “Consider carefully what you hear,” he continued. “With the measure you use, it will be measured to you—and even more. ²⁵ Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.”

 We are blessed to be "Children of the Light", but with this privilege comes the obligation to let that light shine in the darkness. This has been true for all generations, but seems even more relevant today when the powers of darkness seem to be gaining strength.  We have been given much through our baptism and incorporation into Christ.  We are the Body of Christ in this world, and only in him will the darkness be dispelled; hence the urgent call to live his message and values so that his light might continue to shine through us.  A "tall order" as the expression goes, but a necessary one, and a possible one, if we focus on him, and ask for his help, strength and courage to be that light  Let us not be afraid to let our light shine.  The more we do, the more light we will receive.
