Let the Light Out

Who would have imagined a basement-level freight depot would become [what is today] an intriguing underground city of gift shops and restaurants.  Underground Atlanta holds and preserves some of the city’s rich history and it’s tucked away underneath the street, hidden from sight!

Genuine Christian living is not a covert mission!  True Lordship of Christ in a Believer’s life will always be apparent – it cannot remain hidden!  Spurgeon writes, “Fair is that lone star which smiles through the rifts of the thunder clouds; bright is the oasis which blooms in the wilderness of sand; so fair and so bright is love in the midst of wrath.”   Jesus made sure we understood what He meant by being “light of the world” – a city set on a hill, not to be hidden or its light restrained.  Furthermore, He said, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:14-16)  Some of the best shining we’ll do is in times of duress, when other lights grow dim and altogether fail.  These are times of opportunity for the Beauty of Christ to be revealed through us to those teetering on the brink of darkness and looming disaster.  Make sure your light source is [none other than] Christ Jesus, and … let The Light out!
