Jesus calls His followers the light of the world, reminding them that faith is never meant to be hidden. Like a city set on a hill or a lamp placed on a stand, the life of a believer is meant to be visible and purposeful. When God’s light shines through us—through love, integrity, compassion, and obedience—it brings clarity and hope to those around us. As others see these good deeds, the ultimate goal is not personal recognition, but that God the Father is glorified. Living out our faith openly points people beyond us to Him.
