Today’s Devotional
In Matthew 5:14, Jesus calls His followers the “light of the world.” This verse reminds us of the responsibility we have as Christians to reflect the love, truth, and grace of God to the world around us. Just as a town built on a hill cannot be hidden, our faith should not be hidden from others but instead should illuminate the darkness and guide people toward the love of God.
Being the light of the world means living out our faith boldly and authentically, demonstrating the transformative power of God’s love in our lives. It means shining our light by practicing kindness, compassion, and forgiveness, and by sharing the good news of Jesus with others.
