The Meaning Behind the Message
Matthew 5:16 is part of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, where He calls His followers to be salt and light in the world.
"You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." – Matthew 5:14-16
You Are the Light of the World
Jesus didn't say you should be the light. He said you are the light. If you follow Jesus, you carry His light inside you.
John 8:12 says, "When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, 'I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.'"
You don't create the light—Jesus is the light. But when you follow Him, His light shines through you.
Don't Hide Your Light
Jesus says people don't light a lamp and then hide it under a bowl. They put it on a stand so it gives light to everyone in the house.
Your faith isn't meant to be hidden. Your light isn't meant to be dimmed.
The world is dark. People are lost. They're searching for hope, for truth, for something real. And your light—the light of Christ in you—is what they need to see.
Ephesians 5:8 says, "For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light."
Philippians 2:15 declares, "So that you may become blameless and pure, 'children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.' Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky."
Let Your Light Shine
How do you let your light shine?
Through your good works – Acts of love, kindness, generosity, and service
Through your words – Speaking truth, encouragement, and the Gospel
Through your life – Living with integrity, joy, and faithfulness
Through your love – Loving others the way Jesus loves you
1 Peter 2:12 says, "Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us."
The goal isn't to draw attention to yourself. The goal is to point people to the Father.
When people see your light, they should see Jesus. When they see your good works, they should glorify God.
The Contrast: Darkness vs. Light
The design on this candle captures the powerful contrast between the darkness of the world and the light of Christ.
The dark desert background represents the world—lost, dry, desperate for hope
The Holy Spirit flame represents the light of Christ burning brightly within you
John 1:5 says, "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."
2 Corinthians 4:6 declares, "For God, who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness,' made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God's glory displayed in the face of Christ."
1 John 1:5 reminds us, "This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all."
The darker the world gets, the brighter your light shines.
A Prayer for Light Bearers
"Father, thank You for calling me to be light in this dark world. Help me to shine brightly for You. Let my life, my words, and my love point people to Jesus. Give me boldness to not hide my light, but to let it shine so that others may see You and glorify Your name. In Jesus' name, Amen."
