Light in the Dark

Light - something that makes things visible.  Us as Christians are the light of the world.  God calls us to be light, He wants us to help make things visible.  We live in a really messed up, crazy, dark world.  When we accept Christ, we are turning on that light.  The light that everyone needs.  This light, or us, is used to help show others Christ.  Satan is the dark, and by turning on the light, we are helping this insane world to see and to put there feet on the right path that leads to Christ.
I think that us as humans have a problem with sharing this light.  We are too afraid of what others will think of us, when we should be concerned with what God thinks.   I would rather risk an earthly friendship then turn down an eternal one.  One thousand years from now, it won't matter who liked you, it will matter who's life you turned around and brought to Christ.

But in order to be that light, you first need to accept it.  If you do not know Christ, there is no way you can share Him.  God sent Jesus to us as a baby.  Jesus lived a perfect life and glorified God.  Eventually, Jesus was hung on a cross to die.  His blood was shed to pay for your sins.  After three days, He rose and conquered death.  Now He is seated in heaven waiting to come and take all who believe in Him home.  If you do not believe, you will spend eternity in hell.  In order to take this gift, you need to pray and admit your sins to God, believe that He is Gods son, and confess that you need Him because you are not good on your own.  Once you do this, you are a Christian and will be spending eternity with Him.  Now you need to spread the good news and be a light for everyone to see.

It is time we flipped up the light switch and made a difference in people's lives because we stopped hiding our light under a basket.  God has called us to so much more, so don't be afraid to share your light and to help set the world on fire.
