Guided by The Light
A 7-Day Devotional Journey on Christ our Eternal Guide
By Rev Wilfred G. Snell
Day 6 – Christ, the Reflecting Light
Scripture: Matthew 5:14
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.”
— Matthew 5:14 (ESV)
Reflection:
A lighthouse does not shine for itself—it reflects the brilliance of the lamp within. In the same way, believers are called to reflect Christ’s light. We are not the source of hope or truth, but we are bearers of it. The world is filled with darkness, but when Christ dwells in us, His light cannot remain hidden.
Reflecting His light is both a privilege and a responsibility. Our words, actions, and attitudes become beams pointing others toward Him. The question is not whether we are shining, but what kind of light we are reflecting. When people encounter us, do they see Christ’s love, compassion, and truth?
Life Application:
Ask yourself:
Do others see Christ’s light in me?
Commit to one intentional act of kindness today that reflects His love.
Remember:
You are a lighthouse for someone who desperately needs direction.
Prayer:
Lord,
Make me a faithful reflection of You.
Let my life shine with Your compassion, truth, and grace.
Where I am tempted to hide, give me courage to be bold.
Use me to point others to Your saving light.
Amen.
Closing Quote:
“We are not the light, but the lanterns through which His light shines.”
