DENNIS
Good Morning. I am Dennis Gossett with Central United Methodist Church.
In the dog days of summer our electric bill can get pretty expensive. The air
conditioner is always running, and with the kids being home, every light in
the house is on. If you are like me, we are constantly turning lights off in
every room. After all, who has money to burn? However, when it is dark, it’s
necessary to have light if you want to see. It would seem rather silly to hide
light bulbs from ourselves if we really need to see in a dark room. But
sometimes that is what we do with our faith.
Did you know that Jesus is the light of the world? He said that light can
come and live inside of each of us. So, if we have that light, we should not
put it in some place that we cannot see it. Imagine, if we were to hide the
lights in our home not only could we not see but others who are in the house
would be blind too.
Jesus let this light shine for the whole world to see. The light he is referring
to is love, compassion, mercy, grace, faith, obedience, and sacrifice. Such
things should be placed in its proper place. I encourage you to shine your
light today. Let other people see by your example. Also, I invite you to come
worship with us, as we kindle the light of the world in our hearts. God bless.
