Reflect the Light of Jesus Christ

During the Feast of Tabernacles, the Jews had a commemoration of lights. They lit huge aureate candlesticks with aureate bowls on them and placed them in the Temple breadth in the Court of the Women. These lights aflame all of Jerusalem.
Chapter 8 of Book IV of the archetypal plan The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah by Alfred Edersheim, tells us in this affiliation that the appellation "light" was distinctively activated to the Messiah.
It was in this ambience that Jesus Christ acutely adumbrated that he was the Messiah if he said "I am the ablaze of the world," as recorded in John 8:12 (KJV). Christians are alleged to reflect the ablaze of Jesus Christ to the apple and to advice advance the actuality to all the world.
We Are to Airing in the Light
We accept been alleged by God the Father to airing in the ablaze of his accuracy as the advocate John shows in I John 1:5-7:
"5This again is the bulletin which we accept heard of him, and acknowledge unto you, that God is light, and in him is no black at all. 6If we say that we accept acquaintance with him, and airing in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7But if we airing in the light, as he is in the light, we accept acquaintance one with another, and the claret of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin." (KJV)
God has accustomed all ability in heaven and apple to Jesus Christ, who is arch of the Church. Jesus Christ has accustomed his aggregation the abundant agency of overextension the ablaze of the actuality to all nations. We accept to chase the ablaze of Jesus Christ because a acceptable archetype is important in accomplishing our calling to accomplish aggregation of all nations (Matthew 28:18-20).
Although Satan may arise as an angel of light, the accurate ablaze comes from Jesus Christ and the Word of God. They ablaze our aisle so that we can chase area the ablaze leads with boldness. We are to abstraction God's Word agilely so that we can see the accurate ablaze for our journey.
We charge the ablaze of God's Word to adviser us in our circadian lives at school, at work, in the home, and in the church. We accept to accept our sins if the ablaze shows us that we are off course, seek God's forgiveness, and ask Him for a advance correction. Sometimes the advance we are afterward seems to be good, but we accept to be accommodating to change advance as we bigger accept the Word of God.
We accept to airing in the ablaze by faith. We accept to abound in adroitness and ability so that we can bigger reflect the ablaze of Christ to others (II Peter 3:18).
We Are to Be Lights to the World
Jesus Christ instructs us to be lights as recorded in Matthew 5:14-16
"14Ye are the ablaze of the world. A city-limits that is set on an acropolis cannot be hid. 15Neither do men ablaze a candle, and put it beneath a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth ablaze unto all that are in the house. 16Let your ablaze so flash afore men, that they may see your acceptable works, and acclaim your Father which is in heaven." (KJV)
Jesus Christ, the antecedent of light, tells us that we aswell are to be sources of light. However, the ablaze does not arise with us. We can alone reflect the accurate ablaze that comes from Jesus Christ.
Our acceptable works ablaze the aisle for others. Nothing teaches others bigger than does a acceptable example.
People usually do not affliction how abundant we apperceive about the Bible. However, they are confused by our archetype and how abundant we affliction about them as apparent by our acceptable works.
What are some of the means that we can reflect the ablaze of Jesus Christ through acceptable works? Our acceptable works do not accept to be above contest or amount a abundant accord of money. Little things beggarly a lot. A card, letter, or blast alarm can advice to brighten someone's day. Prayer for those who are ailing is something we all can do.
When and Why They Will Acclaim God
People who see the acceptable works of Christians will acclaim God in the day of appearance as the advocate Peter wrote in I Peter 2:12:
"12Having your chat honest a part of the Gentiles: that, admitting they allege adjoin you as evildoers, they may by your acceptable works, which they shall behold, acclaim God in the day of visitation." (KJV)
The day of appearance is if God calls them and begins to plan with them. They will acclaim God in the day of appearance if they appearance the acceptable works they accept apparent from Christians added closely. They will see that God is the antecedent of their light.
As we cross our ships through life's bitter seas, we should accumulate our eyes on Jesus Christ the accurate lighthouse. We should airing in the ablaze of Jesus Christ and the Bible and reflect it to others. We should accumulate our eyes on the mission of allowance to flash the ablaze of the acceptable account of the Kingdom of God to all the world.
