TEMPLO DE LA CRUZ
Time to Shine (March 21, 2020)
Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.” John 8:12
Jesus went on to say, “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.” Matthew 5:14
I know we are being told to stay home and I believe we are to obey the authorities over us, as it says in Romans chapter 13. The shelter-in-place order is forcing us to retreat to our homes and be hidden in many ways. But Jesus said, we can’t be hidden; our light must shine. Wherever and however we can, we must shine our light and bring glory to God.
The Light of the World, Jesus Christ, spreads His light through us His disciples, His people, and His church. We are Christ’s ambassadors and He shines His light through the prayers of the saints, us being His hands and feet in this world, by sharing His love and grace, and by spreading the gospel of grace. This is our opportunity to shine our light to a world that is feeling fearful, hopeless and helpless in many ways. Many are looking for hope and answers and are facing their mortality- realizing that life is fragile and fleeting.
Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. Isaiah 60:1
