His Glory will shine out…………

“Rise up and shine, for your light has come. The shining-greatness of the Lord has risen upon you”.    Isa. 60:1  NLV

We first walk in the light, in accountability with one another, to keep our hearts pure, so our relationship with God is in order and we can walk in intimacy with Him.

Jesus said the world would know us by our love and by our light.

Secondly, we walk in the light to be a light to the world, that those who do not know Him might see Him in us.   His glory will shine out of us and impact our world.

“Since God has so generously let us in on what he is doing, we're not about to throw up our hands and walk off the job just because we run into occasional hard times.  We refuse to wear masks and play games.  We don't maneuver and manipulate behind the scenes.  And we don't twist God's Word to suit ourselves. Rather, we keep everything we do and say out in the open, the whole truth on display, so that those who want to can see and judge for themselves in the presence of God.

If our Message is obscure to anyone, it's not because we're holding back in any way.   No, it's because these other people are looking or going the wrong way and refuse to give it serious attention.   All they have eyes for is the fashionable god of darkness.  They think he can give them what they want, and that they won't have to bother believing a Truth they can't see.  They're stone-blind to the dayspring brightness of the Message that shines with Christ, who gives us the best picture of God we'll ever get.

Remember, our Message is not about ourselves; we're proclaiming Jesus Christ, the Master.   All we are is messengers, errand runners from Jesus for you.   It started when God said, "Light up the darkness!" and our lives filled up with light as we saw and understood God in the face of Christ, all bright and beautiful”.   II Cor. 4:1-6 MSG Bible

So let us walk in the light as He is in the light, let us have that degree of fellowship with one another that gets rid of hidden darkness and let us shine His glory out into the world.
