Light Attracts

One of the things about light is that people notice it, and it will attract them. If there is a light on, especially in a dark place it will be seen. Jesus knew this when He spoke this verse,

John 12:32
And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself.

When we give Him praise, or acknowledge Him in front of others we lift up the light. This can also be done as we share from His word; even if people are not familiar with the Bible it will show forth the light of Christ as they hear it. In 2 Cor 5:5-6 we are told that preaching (proclaiming, sharing) His word is like shinning a light in a dark place.

The thing that is so exciting about this is that as we spend time with Jesus and in His word, it will show, people will notice. Being a Christian and having an ongoing relationship with Him is one of the best ways that we can make a difference in the world. The point is that we don't need to work it up, as He moves in our lives, He will also move through our lives. Just think how much light would show forth if all of us Christians were actively relating to the Lord on a daily basis.

Have a great day in Him, God bless you all.
