THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD!

(Mat 5:14 KJV) Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
The master Light of this world is Jesus Christ! But by coming to Him and believing in Him� He gives us the power to become the sons of God. This in essence makes us the LIGHT through the Holy Spirit to the world! He tells us to let our light shine. I believe that he is saying to be the illuminating factor of His Grace for all who are drawn by His Holy Spirit.
