This little light of mine

For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake. For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. – 2 Corinthians 4.5-6

God said ‘let there be light’ into the darkness and His light broke the darkness. Jesus came into the dark world as the Light, but for the most part the world rejected Him. Now He sends us as lights into the world.

We don’t preach us – good thing, huh?

We preach that same Light we read about all through scripture. We preach the Light that God spoke out of darkness. We preach the Light that into the world. We preach the light that shatters the world of darkness that does not comprehend it.

We preach the light that has shone in our hearts to give light to those around us. We preach the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in Christ.

But can we really preach that light if we are not walking in that light? We must ‘let our light shine before men so that they can see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven.’

This little light of mine, I’m gonna let is shine?
