Scripture
“You are the light of the world.”
Devotional
Jesus calls Himself the light of the world in John 8:12 and refers to us as the light of the world in Matthew 5:14. Light makes darkness impossible and allows people to see their actions. God is light, and so are we since He sent His Holy Spirit to live within us.
Jesus told us to “let your light shine before others,” calling us to live out our faith actively and boldly. Every day, we have the opportunity to shine brightly for the Lord and share God's overcoming truth with those around us. People can tell what we believe by how we live. So let's be the light to bring joy and hope into this dark world.
Prayer
Jesus, cast your light upon me, and I will shine for you. Amen.
