2 Corinthians 4:5 " for we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake".
It is evident in everything around us that the world is becoming more unstable, threatening, dangerous, and immoral. Scripture speaks of the trials we believer will go through, which are designed to purge and perfect us. It is through our affliction and persecution that God is working in us for an eternal purpose. What ever we suffer as part of the body of Christ, is part of our transformation into His glorious image by the work of His holy spirit.
Satan is at work against us, and will do whatever he can to prevent the light of the Gospel from illuminating the minds and hearts of the unbeliever. But that should not keep us from letting our light shine. The darker the world become the brighter our lights should shine, so that all in darkness can see the way to deliverance. Our light shines brightest when we share the truth, that salvation is found only in Jesus Christ. When we lift up Jesus Christ, the light of the world, then we can conquer the darkness with His light. We must realize it is not about us, who we are, or if we are saved or not, this is solely about the one who saves, Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
We are just unworthy vessels, chosen to carry such a precious message, that all the world needs to hear. We are not the light, we are just a clay house that holds the light, that all traveling through this vast dark wilderness can find the way. Let us put His light on display that all can see the glory of the Lord and be saved.
