Welcomed Light in a Hardened World

2 Timothy 4:1-2

I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word;

Jesus Christ, the Living Word, came to earth to teach us about God and to reveal the salvation plan.  A large portion of His message was presented through the way that He lived and loved among the people.  He used His miracles to exhibit His love and to gain attention for His message – especially for those that would not listen to His message otherwise.

So it is with us.  Because most of the world now has hardened hearts for the spoken Word, we must draw them to the Word by the way that we live our lives.  Once we become a welcomed light in their lives, we can reveal the gospel to them.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the living presence of Your Son in our lives.  We pray that we may become broken vessels, surrendered to You, so that the world may be drawn to us by the Light that lives within us and shines forth from us.  Once they have come to us, we pray that You give us the strength and the boldness to proclaim the gospel.

I am forever a student of the Word and a disciple of Jesus Christ, finding life applications in Scripture. I write about Christian themes, including bringing others to Christ, the matchless name of Jesus and various spiritual concepts like a penitent heart and overcoming darkness. I focus on Christian teachings, personal faith and reliance on the Holy Spirit. I invite you to read through my daily writings. Think them out for yourself through your study of God's Holy Word. Pray on the meaning of the message. Then let the message come alive in your life.
