It’s Time to Light Up

2 Cor 4:3-6

3          But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

4          In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

5          For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.

6          For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

(KJV)

Rom 1:16

16       For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

14       Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

16       Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

(KJV)

Luke 15:8-10

8          Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?

9          And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.

10       Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

9          That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

11       He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
