“Being A Light”
What does being a light in the darkness in the name of Jesus Christ mean to you? I don’t think I have ever discussed this with you guys. This is the tag line on our web site at c2C Ministry. Being a light in the darkness for Jesus Christ means to me what is written in the book of Matthew about being the salt and the light, the city on a hill that is always shining. A beacon of hope for those who have only been in the darkness and do not understand the Light and fear the Light. A gentle yet sometime stearn voice in the darkness reaching out to someone who is lost in their darkness. A piece of sand paper that softens rough edges upon the ones who are in the Light yet still has that dark patch on their root. Being this light for Christ is my world. Him centered here with me that I may follow His will to share His love and His way and His Truth and the Life that only can come from Him. Being a light to me is being flexible in what is believed without falling from the Truth. Being a light is gaining the wisdom and knowledge of the world that I may serve Jesus Christ in the best way that I can serve Him. Speaking the Truth no matter who is offended by it, even if I am offended by it. Continuing to grow in Light that I may someday be with the Light and to take as many other lights with me when His time has come to return and be King of kings and Lord of lords. Being a light in the darkness for Jesus Christ is not just a tag line on a web site for me, it is who I am and who God has chosen me to be, still being shaped and molded, still be educated and educatable, never closing my mind to expanding His kingdom for all who pass through these gates. Will c2C Ministry cease to exist? Only on the day that I take my last breath and am with Jesus in His mansion in the sky. Upon that time that He chooses to do so will be the time for someone else to take my place and to follow the path that Christ has lead them down to begin their season as the light in the darkness in the name of Jesus Christ. All I want is for someone to come up to me and mistake me for Him. That my light shine so bright that when they look into my eyes all they see is Christ that lives in me. That when they touch my hand that all they can feel is the Jesus that flows through me. That the sound of my voice isn’t mine but His as He speaks through me. That when people watch my walk that it is like His because He is the center of my life. That is what being a light in the darkness in the name of Jesus Christ.
Matthew 5:13-16
Salt and Light
13″You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.
14″You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
Jesus Bless,
