A citizen of darkness or light?

A citizen of darkness or light? – Bill Wilson – www.dailyjot.com As we enter the holiday season, there will be many opportunities to either shine the light of Christ or participate in the darkness of the world. How you respond could welldetermine the future of our nation. There is disruption on all levels of our society, a lot of it spurred on by an out-of-control media pitting us against one another. There is no rest from disruption. It is so, because the media and the disrupters make itso. There they are making their noise, spewing forth hate, derision, suspicion and darkness. What is it to us? We do not have to allow them to influence us. Their darkness does not overcome the light of Christ and the Holy Spirit in each of us. We are of anothercitizenship. In John 8:12, Christ said, “I am the light of the world: he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” In Matthew 5:14-16, Christ affirmsthis transfer of light, saying, “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it gives light unto all that are in the house. Let your light soshine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Philippians 2:14-15 says, “Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That you may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midstof a crooked and perverse nation, among whom you shine as lights in the world.” Proverbs 4:14-18 says, “Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away. For they sleep not,except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall. For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence. But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shines more and more unto the perfectday.” Psalm 119:105 says, “Your word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” There is a pattern here that there is a path we all travel, but we do not have to travel in darkness because Christ is the light for the just. He transfers it to his disciplesthat they might also be the light of the world. As you see friends and family during this season, you do not have to take part in the darkness around us. You can be that light to others, that joy in the midst of sorrow.Everyone seems to be at everyone else. Peace is but a fleeting moment like an insincere greeting. Remember, though, that as the light of the world, you are also an ambassador of Christ, an emissary of the kingdom of God. We don’t have to enter into the darknessbecause it already has been defeated by the King of Kings. Renew your mind. Have a perspective of light. As is written in 2 Timothy 1:7, “For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love and of a sound mind.” So let your light shine.
