David Jeremiah Bible Verse for today:
You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. – Matthew 5:14

INSIGHT | David Jeremiah Daily Devotional Tuesday 9th July 2024 | Shine His Light

Recommended Reading: Matthew 5:14-16

In 1961, President John F. Kennedy quoted a phrase from the Puritan John Winthrop’s 1630 sermon in which he referenced “a city upon a hill,” referring to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in colonial America. In 1980, President Ronald Reagan used the same phrase in his campaign speeches. While Kennedy and Reagan were quoting John Winthrop, Winthrop himself was quoting Jesus: “A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.”

Jesus made that statement in His Sermon on the Mount while telling His disciples, “You are the light of the world…. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:14, 16). Jesus was the Light of the World (John 8:12) who imparted His light to His disciples. He wanted them not to hide their light; He wanted their light to be as visible to the world as a city on a hill.

If you have Christ in your life, let the world see Him and His light shining through you today. The purpose of your light is that God may be glorified.

The design of Christian doctrine is that believers should exercise themselves in good works.
John Calvin
