Our light shines as Christians when we act or react to life in ways that contrast to the ways of the world. Jesus said that He is "The light of the world." (John 8:12) His life contrasted sharply with the lives of the Pharisees and the other religious leaders. The things He said and the things He did were in stark contrast to the acts of the others. His "light" shone brightly. The people could easily see a difference between Him and the others. They could see it in His acts and they could hear it in His words. For us, the marketplace, our office, the school wherever we work or spend our time outside the religious setting provides perhaps the greatest opportunity to demonstrate the difference that having Christ in our lives makes. When we act or react in ways that are consistent with Him, His teachings, and His ways, and in contrast to the world and its ways, our light shines. Men see it. It is noticed.
