Pastor’s Pen for Sunday, 12-14-25
The Church is tasked with the mission of representing Heaven in the earth. We are Heaven’s ambassadors, 2 Corinthians 5:20 (KJV): 20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. The Church is called the light of the world as is Christ, the Father, and the Word. Light means to illuminate, to shine, and in the Word of God light also is indicative of the kingdom of Heaven and the revelation of God in the earth. We are all of the light that many who we work with on our jobs will see, or who we work alongside in our businesses, our communities, schools, etc. In Jesus’ sermon on the mount, He reveals that our light is our good works, Matthew 5:16 (KJV): 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. What we do reveals whether we’re walking in light or darkness according to the words of Christ in John 3:19–21 (KJV ): 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Rom. 14 is an awesome chapter that encourages Believers to be mindful of how we influence our brothers and sisters, and to take it a step further, how we may influence all whom we may come in contact with. In other words, we are to be mindful of our actions and how we are encouraging or discouraging others as it relates to the things of God, Romans 14:21 (KJV): 21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. Matthew 5:14 (KJV): 14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
