A City on a Hill
"You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.” — Matthew 5:14
If you’ve ever looked at a photograph of the earth at night taken from space, it’s easy to see urban areas because they’re so brightly lit. The same is true for believers. We are called to “shine” like the city on a hill that Jesus spoke about and to live in such a way that others will observe our good works and see evidence of God in our life. A Christian’s faith is made evident through his or her deeds. We want others in our sphere of influence to notice how we live. Why? So they might gradually being to understand that God is worthy and Good. That means we can be effective witnesses both through the words we say and the things we do. We are to be a reflection of God’s light and glory. When we're faithful to the Lord, our actions will point others to Him.
