“Ye are the light of the world.”
Matthew 5.14
Sometimes it’s hard to see it clearly – but it’s still true! This is a simple, straight-forward statement made by the Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus is speaking to the disciples, the apostles who would become the first church of the New Testament (Matthew 16.18, 2 Corinthians 12.28). Jesus is simply saying, “Ye are the light of the world.” And it was a statement, not a question.

“And whosoever of you will be the chiefest,
shall be servant of all. ”
Mark 10.44
I’m not sure who said it, but this quote is very good: “How do you know if you are a servant? By how you react when someone treats you as one”
I remember a few times I didn’t like the way someone was treating me! They were probably treating me like “some sort of servant”.

“And they will deceive every one his neighbour,
and will not speak the truth:
they have taught their tongue to speak lies,
and weary themselves to commit iniquity.” - Jeremiah 9.5
One of the greatest gifts we have by being born again Christians is... the Truth!
The above verse certainly describes our world today! Sin pushes people to believe – with all of their heart and energy – lies.
Lots and lots of lies!

“Looking unto Jesus...” - Hebrews 12.2
Out along a country lane is a field with two horses in it. From a distance, each looks like every other horse. But if one is walking by, one will notice something quite amazing.

“The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul.” - Proverbs 13.24
Whenever I come across this verse I find and I need it!
There are times when we seem to go, go, go. But we wonder whether we are getting anywhere. Sometimes we give and give of ourselves doing what we believe the Lord has asked us to do - and we are worn out!

“Is this the man that made the earth to tremble?"
Isaiah 14.16
Who is this?
“Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;” (Isaiah 14.15-16)
Verse 12 tells us who this is, “How art thou fallen... O Lucifer,”!

“And the unicorns shall come down with them...” - Isaiah 34.7
What exactly is a unicorn?
Have you ever wondered?
A unicorn is a mythical creature. Or so, most of the dictionaries today will say.
But in the above verse, in the context of the Lord’s return to earth to rule and reign with His saints, we are told, “And the unicorns shall come down with them...”

“I will give them an heart to know me” - Jeremiah 24.7
Wow, these words of the Lord ought to really sink down into our hearts, “I will give them an heart to know me”. Especially -knowing what the Bible says about our heart.
In fact, the first time we see the heart mentioned in the Bible it is bad: “And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” (Genesis 6:5) And God sent the Flood…
