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.
In my benediction each week I say, "The world needs your light."
It does. We do.
The hopeless and afraid need a light to know that that are people out there to come and be a part of.
Those walking in darkness need a light to show them the next step.
A student needs the light to open their mind and also their soul.
The vulnerable need a light so the wolf can be warned, "This is no place to prowl."
The closeted need a light to know that maybe one day they too can live out in the open.
A mother needs to see the light of life once again in the eyes of her child.
The world really does need your light.
And that's why the first thing God said was, "Let there be light."
