Let your Light shine

Back to List

It is surprising how far one can see the light of a candle on a dark night. It is still the custom in some country places to keep a lighted candle in a tiny upstairs window. It is so cheering to see this light as we come through the dark lanes.

When you see a light in a house, you say: "Oh, there is someone in!" That is what the Lord Jesus meant when He said: "Let your light so shine." You cannot let the light shine unless there is Someone inside.

You know the famous picture, The Light of the World. The Lord Jesus has the lamp in His hand, and He knocks on the door of someone's heart. It is dark all around, but He has the light, and He will bring it inside as soon as the door is opened.

Have you let Him into your heart ? If you have, how can you keep all the joy and light to yourself ? You simply must "let your light shine."

Christ lives in me,

And learn to love Him too.
