Matthew 5:16
“Just so, your
light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify
your heavenly Father.”
I saw a light on top of a building. Actually, it was on top of the radio
antenna. And so I asked my father why do
they have to put that beacon light on that location.
He responded that it is for safety. So that low-flying aircrafts like small
planes and helicopters would recognize the building and prevent crashing on
them. A neat idea, as I thought.
Imagine a small light preventing people from
perishing.
Every Christians are called to be the light of the
world. Not only the priests, or the nuns
or the pastors or the lay ministers.
Everyone, without exemption!
So the next time you say, “I don’t have to help them,
let those with powers and money and influence help them”, then you are
wrong. You can help not only by
extending money. You can help by
ministering on them. You can help by
telling them about the salvation brought by the Lord.
You can help by being a light to them, so they would
not perish but have an eternal life with God in Heaven.
Every good deeds you do in helping others cope up with
their life, is a beacon of light that would reach heaven. Do not let go of that light. Make it shine more so more people would be
attracted to it and have their lives change for the better.
Let us pray +
Almighty
Father, let me be a light for
others. Use me so that others may see
that same light of salvation. Amen
+
The just man is a light in darkness to the upright.
