Today's Daily Lesson comes from Matthew chapter 5 verses 14 through 16:
14 ‘You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hidden.15No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.
Let me ask you a few things.
What if Michelangelo decided he would just do murals in the homes of closest friends and family?
What if out of humility Billy Graham thought preaching was too presumptuous?
What if Bach decided not to share his compositions?
What if Fanny Crosby did the same?
The world would be so much poorer and so much less beautiful.
It would also be so much darker.
"Let your light shine," Jesus said.
We've each been given a light. It's ours to use. It's ours to shine. It's ours to share.
How dare we keep it to ourselves?
