Imagine walking in your community in complete darkness. As you walk, no lights are on in houses. There aren’t streetlights. There’s no light to show the way. Pitch black. Then you pass by someone with a flashlight. It illuminates the darkness. Everything becomes clear. That one light changes everything.
Now think about the darkness representing people who don’t know God. They are in your community. They live in those houses you just walked by. They can’t find their way because they haven’t seen the light. And then you come along. You are the one shining the flashlight because you have a light within you. You shine your light on the ones in darkness, and they begin to experience Jesus. And then their light begins to shine, and the darkness is a little less dark because now two of you are shining Jesus. Then someone in the next house sees the light, moves toward it, and they begin to experience Jesus.
Read Matthew 5:14–16.
What would it look like if each of us turned our Jesus light on in our community? Who do you think will see it? Who do you hope will see it?
What if kids turned their Jesus light on this week?
Imagine how bright the light would be. Imagine how your community would change!
