Arise and Shine
DECEMBER 27, 2023
Arise, shine, for your light has come.
Isaiah 60:1, NIV
Recommended Reading: Matthew 5:13-16
If you have a room in your house that doesn’t get a lot of sunlight, how do you brighten it up? Designers suggest putting one or more mirrors in the room. One good mirror will double the amount of sunlight in your room by reflecting whatever sunlight manages to get in.
Our world is like a dark room right now. To those unsaved, Jesus is like a bright beam of sunshine outside their lives. But we are the mirrors that can reflect His light to others. This is a biblical metaphor. Jesus said in John 9:5, “I am the light of the world.” But He also said in Matthew 5:14-16 that we are the light of the world. While Jesus is the true light, we reflect His brilliance to a dark planet.
Isaiah 60:1-2 says, “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you” (NIV).
Ask Jesus to help you be a light to this world.
[Christ] gives the light, and has ordained that every ray of it is to reflect something for God.
