Jesus said, “I am the Light of the World.” He also said that we are the light of the world. He made both statements. Jesus is the Source and we are the Light. I am the vine and you are the branches. They are connected. The vine and the branch are one.
Not, the gospel is the light. Not, you reflect the light. We do not turn the light off and on. If we turn out the light, we are no longer the light. A light that does not shine is useless. We must shine for God.
