“Brighten Your Corner”
Sunday, July 27, 2025Key Verse
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 5:16).
Text —Matthew 5: 14-16
Message
Fireflies are nocturnal insects that are noted for emission of light in the evening dusk twilight. This tiny insect’s light glows in darkness. Genuine Christianity cannot be concealed. As the moon reflects sunlight, children of God should mirror Jesus Christ the light of the world. Christ shines His light through His saints in the dark world. As the dawn of a new day dispels the darkness of the night, so does Jesus, the Sun of righteousness, take residence in the believers and all works of darkness disappear. Darkness and light cannot cohabit, so holiness and sin cannot inhabit the same heart. Believers are light that dispels darkness. Let your life be a standing rebuke of a sinful world.
Believers are to shine by living out the Christ-like life in word and deed anywhere we are found. Likewise, we shine by sending out the word of life through preaching of the gospel. Never allow any situation or circumstance to eclipse your light. Matthew 5:14 says, “Ye are the light of the world… A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.”
