Let It Shine

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. Many of us remember singing these words, perhaps as little children in Sunday School: “This little light of mine; I’m gonna let it shine. Hide it under a bushel? No! I’m gonna let it shine.” Those simple lyrics carry a powerful Biblical truth. In Isaiah 60:1, God calls His people to action, saying, “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.” That light is Jesus Christ. He stepped into a dark world, took our sin upon Himself on the cross so we could be forgiven and eternal life could be ours. When we place our faith in Him, His light shines in us, not to be hidden, but to be shared. The world around us is filled with people searching for hope, peace, and truth. God calls us not to shine the light of Christ through telling others about Him. Let’s not keep it to ourselves—let’s share the Gospel!
