Light

Acts 13:47 (NASB)

I have made you a light to the Gentiles.

Light can be blocked, shut out, diverted, reflected, or absorbed but never extinguished. The only way to extinguish light is to destroy the source. It's no wonder that Satan and his minions tried to kill the Lord Jesus Christ, the trustworthy source of light. The only light that the lost and dying in this world have is us, the followers of Jesus of Nazareth. Without the light of the Lord Jesus Christ shining through us, the already darkened world would be dark without hope or even a flicker of light. Even total and absolute darkness can't completely hide a single light source. A single candle will show from across a pitch-black room. As saints, we are that candle of light flickering in a sin-infested world. Let us shine bright until He returns.
