SDG 176 Are We the Children of the Light?

1 Thessalonians 5:5

You know there’s a lot of talk in new age spiritual circles about “the light” and being “light workers” but this is actually a term and a concept stolen from the Bible.

In our focus scripture for today’s message  Paul tells us we are all children of the light and then Jesus tells us that we are the light of the world!

Now Jesus refers to believers as both salt and light and both need to be applied, but when salt’s applied, it goes inward and disappears, whereas light comes from within and always appears.

The salt speaks of our character whereas light speaks of our testimony.

And what the world needs is both penetration and illumination, both character and confession.

Look at these utterly profound words from the lips of Jesus.

See Matthew 5:14-16 KJV
[14] Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
[15] Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
[16] Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

So stay tuned because in today’s message we’ll learn the who, what and “hows” of being spiritual light AKA "Children of The Light"!
