Jesus has called us to be "light" to the world and to reflect his message and truth.
Just like a lamp is not meant to be hidden but to be placed on a stand to illuminate, us too as followers of Jesus Christ, should let their light shine brightly by living out our faith and spreading the message of salvation and the truth of God's kingdom to those around us!
 
 
Matthew 5:14
"You are the light of the world."
