Is Your Light Hidden?

 "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden;  nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.

Matthew 5:14-15 (NASB) 

Is your light hidden?  Light is not intended to be hidden.  Light is never hidden by accident.  If your light is hidden it is done intentionally.  So let me ask again, is your light hidden?

If you are not shining your light or sharing Jesus with others, there is something wrong.  Don't hide your light!  Let it shine!  As a Christ follower that is our primary reason for being where you are.  At home, in your office, in the community and at your church make sure that your light is shining bright.  If its not it is not accidental.  There is only one thing we can call that and be consistent with the
Scripture.  It is sin!

Light

“You are the light of the world. A city situated on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket, but rather on a lampstand, and it gives light for all who are in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.

Matt 5:14-16 (HCSB)

You are the light.  Light shines.  It gives light to those who are in darkness.  Jesus reminds us that light was not meant to be hidden.  In fact when we try to hide the light it dims the light but it is still there.  Our lives are a testimony of what God can do with sinful humans.  When we hide our light we are taking away our opportunity to glorify God in our lives.  Don't hide the light but shine for all to see.
