THE LIFE OF CHRIST IN US (1)
TIMES OF REFRESHING DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org
DATE: TUESDAY, 17 SEPTEMBER 2024
The life of Christ in us is a light to the world. When we invite Christ into our hearts, His light begins to shine in and through us, illuminating not only our own lives but also the world around us. This light is not merely a personal blessing; it carries a divine purpose—to reflect the hope, love, and truth of Jesus to those living in darkness. Our transformation is meant to serve as a beacon, pointing others to the source of that light: Christ Himself.
SCRIPTURE: “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on 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.” — Matthew 5:14-16 (NIV)
REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: When Christ lives in us, we are no longer ordinary people; we become vessels of His light. This light has the power to change not just our lives but the lives of those around us. As we reflect His love, hope, truth, and grace, we fulfill our calling to be a light to the world. Stay Refreshed!
NOTE THIS: When Christ lives in us, our lives become a reflection of His light. We are transformed not just for ourselves but to be a beacon of hope, love, and truth in a dark world.
RESPONSIBILITY: So, beloved, may we always remember that the transformation Christ brings to us is not just for our benefit, but to bring glory to God and lead others into His marvelous light.
PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus, to be the light of the world. I am humbled that His light now shines within me, transforming me to be a beacon of hope, love, and truth to those around me. Help me to live in such a way that others can see Your light through my words, actions, and character. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.
PROPHETIC WORD: May the Lord guide you as you walk in His truth and help you to be an instrument of His glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
BIBLE TEXTS: Matthew 5:14-16
