Verse of the day: Matthew 5:16

Reflection

Jesus says our light should be seen, but the aim is that people glorify the Father, not us. Good works done openly point beyond the one doing them.

Prayer

Father, let something I do today point someone toward you. Amen.

In context · Matthew 5:14–18

Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
