The Light of the World

Dear Ones: The Light of the World! Our Master said this to those listening to His Sermon on the Mount. Brother Martin Luther King caught the fire of our Master’s words. Only the Light can drive out darkness and we are carriers of His Light to a lost and hurting world. We cannot fight hate with more hate only the Love of God can achieve that victory.

These are things to think about today as we celebrate the life of Dr. King. It is nice to have a day off from school or work but why is the day important? It is meant to honor Dr. King’s life especially his, “I have a dream,” speech. The crux of his message is revealed in the short quote posted above. Mankind is of one blood and the Love of God is for every man, woman, and child who will receive it.

As Christians we have the great privilege, honor, and mission to carry and release His Light in our spheres of influence. When we enter a room every minion of darkness knows it because light always drive out darkness. Let us keep this in mind when we go to meetings where serious things are on the agenda. Remember these things when you go out shopping. The lost ones only know darkness but let your light shine so they can see the Jesus in you.

May you come to realize that you carry the light of the world and can release it into the very atmosphere around you. Remember to shine. The more diligent your prayer life the more lumens you release. (A lumen is the unit of luminous flux, a measure of the total quantity of visible light emitted by a source per unit of time.) You are the Lord’s sparkler so be sure to shed His light wherever you go. I bless you in Jesus’ name.
