Genesis 1:2-5

Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was

light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he

separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

Revelation 22

There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sum, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.

Matthew 5:14-16

“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people like a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it

n its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the
house. In the same way, let your light shine

before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”

The Message

14-16 “Here’s another way to put it: You’re here to be

light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We’re going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light- bearers, you don’t think I’m going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I’m putting you on a light

stand. Now that I’ve put you there on a hilltop, on

a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you’ll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven.
