Bible verse
Matthew 5:14
“Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.”
What it means
Jesus tells ordinary followers who they now are: the light of the world, like a city on a hill that cannot be hidden. This light is not our own achievement but the reflection of him who is the true Light shining in us. He gives us an identity before he gives us a task. Because we belong to him, our lives are meant to be visible, not to draw eyes to ourselves but to help a dark world find its way to Christ.
Read it, pray it, live it
On The Living Bread you can read the whole chapter, save this verse, ask Simon to explain it, pray it over your life, and share it with someone who needs it today.
