Bible Verse for Today 30 August 2022, Tuesday

Today’s Verse: “You are the light of the world. A city set on a [a]hill cannot be hidden; nor do people light a lamp and put it under a [b]basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Matthew 5:14-15 (NASB)

Bible Verse for Today 30 August 2022 MESSAGE

A porch light is akin to a welcome sign, reminding weary travelers that there’s a comfortable place still open where they can stop and rest. The light invites those passing by to come on in and escape from the dark, weary journey.

Jesus says the lives of those who believe in Him should resemble that of a welcoming light. He told His followers, “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden” (Matthew 5:14). As believers, we’re to illuminate a dark world.

As He directs and empowers us, “[others] may see [our] good deeds and glorify [our] Father in heaven” (v. 16). And as we leave our lights on, they will feel welcomed to come to us to learn more about the one true Light of the World—Jesus (John 8:12). In a weary and dark world, His light always remains on.

Have you left your light on? As Jesus shines through you today, others may see and begin radiating His light too.
