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

Martin Luther King Jr. says: “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” From the creation of things God commanded the existence of light and light came into existence to put out the total darkness the earth was encompassed with.  The absence of natural light is night and even at night we need light to see. Just as God created the natural light to give us light to see, the Christian is the light that He has placed in this dark corrupt world for people to see and be enlightened to embrace the saving gospel. 

 Imagine a bulb shining bright in a dark environment and you willl observe that it will attract different kinds of insects to its domain.  Our lives and character as Christians should be one which radiates so much goodness that others around us can see, glorify God and be moved to give their lives to Jesus. As a Christian youth are you radiating the light for your friends to see and appreciate the love of God?
