Let your light shine!

From the January 1985 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Christ Jesus is our Way-shower. He taught us how to identify ourselves. Was this as limited, aging, decaying, tired mortals, struggling against relentless difficulties? No! He said of his followers, "Ye are the light of the world."Matt. 5:14. Imagine... the light of the world! And he didn't leave it at that. He said, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."Matt. 5:16.

Mary Baker Eddy says, "We should measure our love for God by our love for man; and our sense of Science will be measured by our obedience to God,— fulfilling the law of Love, doing good to all; imparting, so far as we reflect them, Truth, Life, and Love to all within the radius of our atmosphere of thought."Miscellaneous Writings, p. 12.

"So far as we reflect them." Isn't that reflection of Truth, Life, and Love just what Christ Jesus was referring to when he talked about letting our light shine?
