The Hard work of Ministry, light bearers in 2026
Matthew 5:13-16 NKJV You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. 14 You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
2 Corinthians 5:17-21; 1 Peter 3:13-17
Knowing that Satan is the destroyer and that many souls face eternal separation from God should compel us to action.
Jesus calls us the light of the world and temples of the Holy Spirit.
We have a sacred mission: to go to people so they don't end up in the lake of fire. This isn't about yelling from platforms or winning arguments; it's about living authentically as followers of Christ and sharing the simple truth that life apart from Jesus is hollow.
Pride keeps many from believing, for fear of what others will think. But we must lovingly challenge seekers to investigate the claims of Christ before rejecting them.
Your consistent presence in corporate worship, your dedication to prayer and Scripture, and your genuine relationships all equip you for this work.
Who has God placed in your life who needs to see His light?
Grace and Peace
