Wherever we go as Christians, we are called to make a difference like a light being turned on in a dark place. Lights are of little use if not placed amidst the darkness. A light hidden under a bowl is of no use at all. Jesus, by way of the most obvious metaphor available is saying, make a difference in my name. It’s the way of the master, we are “difference makers."

‍

Verse 16, Jesus explains that the service of our lives to help others, to give guidance, protection, leadership and revelation; all things that light does, is the natural outcome of living a life empowered by the Spirit. And this type of life is missional, it’s evangelistic, people will see how you live and through the witness of our kingdom lifestyle, our sacrificial servanthood, people will be drawn to the king of the kingdom themselves. They will see your good deeds and turn around and give glory to God themselves.
