Morning Inspiration with Pastor Merritt
The only thing you can see is something that is bathed in light. Did you ever stop to think that when you look in a mirror you are really not seeing yourself? What you are really seeing is the light that is reflecting off of you. If you don’t believe that, get in front of a mirror and turn off the lights. You won’t see anything. That doesn’t mean that you’ve disappeared. You are there in front of the mirror you just can’t see yourself, because you are in the dark.
The first thing we must do to help people get out of the dark is to show them that they are in the dark and the only way you can do that is by shining the light where they can see it.
That is why Jesus went on to says in the book of John:
“I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the darkness.” (John 12:46)
If you are a follower of Jesus Christ your job is to let His light shine in you and through you so that those living in the dark will know they are in the dark and find the light as well. It is not enough just to shine the light.
