Matthew 5:14 Ye Are The Light Of The World

Matthew 5:14, 16 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

The believer is God’s light shining in a sin darkened world. As a city that is set on the hill, it is visible even from a distance.

That is the believer’s testimony, energized by the Holy Spirit and undergirded by God’s Word, doing good in an evil world. He is contrasted from the darkness that characterized the world.

The believer’s witness as light shines brightly bringing glory to God. All praise and thanksgiving indeed is his witness. Amen.
