Become Visible

Ephesians 5:13 (NIV)
¹³ But everything exposed by the light becomes visible,

Ephesians 5:14 (NIV)
¹⁴ for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: "Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."

When the light of Christ shines on us there is much to see. For the first time we see the reality of the world in which we live as the darkness gives way. It’s like walking out of a musty, dark cave into the warm sun of a spring day.

The light enables us to see ourselves and others as we truly are; God’s children, miracles of His grace and love. We become part of the light of Christ because His Spirit is within us. As Christ shines on us, His light goes forth from us into the world. This light is not to be hidden but to be shared with others as it has been shared with us.

The light grows brighter as we draw closer to God

Shine on me, Oh Lord
That I might grow in Your light
And become visible and a light to others
