The Walk Matters

Matthew 5:14 "Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid".

Let your light so shine before man that they might see your good works and glorify your Father which art in heaven. We are instructed to walk in a manner worthy of the name by which we are called. Effective witnessing is not just in what we say to the world in our words, but it is also in what the world sees in our walk. We live in a seeing is believing world, and if you truly want to be an effective witness, let your walk and talk both glorify the Lord.

Here in our text, we see Jesus telling us we are the light of the world. He didn't say we will be or could be, He said we are the light of the world, and a light is seen and not heard. People are lead out of darkness when they see the light and they become drawn to it. Our walk does matter, it actually matters more than what we say, more people see you than hear you. Remember the old saying actions speak louder than words. It is easy to tell someone that God loves them, but to show the love of God, we must be active. We are the light of the world, so let those in darkness see your light, let them see your love one to another. Let them see the love of God spread abroad in your heart in your words and deeds. We are set upon a hill, the world is watching and no matter how small the light it can be seen by all in darkness. Let the world see your light shining.

No mater who your are in Christ your walk matters. There is someone following you on your journey. You are the bible they are reading, the picture of what they believe a Christian to be like, walk worthy of the name that you are a light house and not a stumbling block, that a lost soul might seek Jesus the light of the world and be saved...
