Port Saint Lucie is full of cars and people running from store to store shopping and preparing for the holiday season… mostly without a thought about what Christmas really is. There is spiritual darkness, an ignorance that blinds their minds, and leaves them without the Light of the World, our Savior Jesus! Our Lord stated, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12). But, did you ever notice that he also said, “As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” (John 9:5) Wait, what? Well this is why Jesus previously taught his followers, “You are the light of the world.” (Matthew 5:14)

The great Messiah left us here, in this very day, to BE THE LIGHT! He calls us to “let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16) It is not what we say, it is what we do that shines brightly and opens the eyes of all who “walk in darkness”. Our neighbors do not see Jesus, nor understand the gospel. But, they understand that giving gifts to their kids, family, and friends is what love is. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son…” Our neighbors saw love when they came to our fall festival and received our free gifts of friendship, kindness to their children, and food. We were the light when darkness was celebrated. The neighbors who do not know Jesus, but brought shoe boxes to our church for needy kids across the world, saw we love others. We were the light! In December we will continue to be the light of the world. When we take our focus off of our own pleasures and turn our eyes to our neighbors who live in Port Saint Lucie, we shine brightly. “… if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?” (Matthew 5)

Let’s press forward and do MORE! Let’s BE THE LIGHT this season!
