Lesson Of The Hour

To be a light of the world is to glorify God. Glorifying God is more than praising God. Jesus taught that being a light meant the world could see the disciple’s good works and those works give glory to the Father. This lesson explores important reasons to look deeper into Jesus’s teaching of being a light. Glorifying God was the mission of Christ, and this is the mission of the church. Glorifying God is the effect of the Gospel. However, Christians do not realize how they hinder the glorification of God. With a biblical understanding, faithful Christians will move forward. Christians can increase their light that glorifies God. This lesson emphasizes the need for disciples to share the light and the opportunity to glorify with other through the Gospel and sharing one’s life.Scripture Reading: Matthew 5:14-16 (read by Barry Rutkowski)Lesson by Scott ShifferdRecorded May 7, 2017 at the Dean Road church of Christ in Jacksonville, FL
