Do you know something other people don’t? I’m not talking about secrets or confidential information. I’m talking about having knowledge or skills and insights other people simply don’t have. No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light. ( Luke 8:16 ESV) Jesus was obviously talking about the light of the gospel. Once you have THE good news, then you wouldn’t want to hide it. I mean why would you want to hide having a savior take your punishment in lieu of you. Wouldn’t you share that you have been spared with all of your friends and family, and perhaps even strangers? In the same way, this concept would apply to all types of good news. You have a very unique perspective in life. You don’t see the world the same as everybody else. You need to share that. You think differently and you act differently. You want to share the uniqueness that is you in the image of God with people. You don’t want to hide it. Yet, so many of us hide under the hard of conformity, why? We need to stop that and be the light. Be the light to people bumping their shins in the darkness of this life.
