“A City On A Hill”

Key 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

Close to a major road in an African country, a village sat fair and square on a hill. Its lights shone brightly cascading down the hill and brightening the valley dwellers. As long as the lights shone in this little village, every passer-by praised the arty wisdom of the builder. Some called him a master builder and wanted him to help them build their cities as well.

Like this village on the hill, Jesus teaches that we are the light of the world. The whole world lies in darkness. True Christians are the only lights this present world has. If we refuse to shine by preaching and doing good works, we deprive the world of the beauty that the life of Christ exudes. Anytime we sin, we make an already dark world much darker. Too bad! As a city that is on a hill cannot be hidden, so should we not also hide our good works made possible by our salvation in Christ. Friend, shine by preaching the gospel and doing good deeds, no matter how hard things get.

Quote

O God, help me to be a light wherever I go, in Jesus’ name.

Challenge

Let the world see by your light.

Prayer for today

Shine by preaching the gospel.
