In the Gospel today (MT 5: 13-16), Jesus charged us to be the light of the world! Jesus used an image of light to remind his followers that they have an identity and a mission.
Don’t hide your light! God has chosen us to be the light that the world needs. Our identity and mission are to bring others into the light of Christ and to share the glory of God.
A shining light is a witness. We should bring light not just to others but for ourselves, too. We are to be witnessing light to others and for one self.
Today we have seen the need for every Christian to be a shining light. You are to be a witness of God's light in your home, and in your neighborhood, in your workplace and to the ends of the earth.
