God’s Fireworks

You won’t find the word “fireworks” in most Bible dictionaries. But I believe that Jesus had plenty to say about the subject.

A few examples:

You are THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. (Matthew 5:14)

GET FIRED UP — don’t hide it from the world. (Matthew 5:15)

LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE — so that others can see God working through you and praise Him. (Matthew 5:16)

In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. (John 1:4-5)

Here’s what Jesus himself said:

The Light of the World

We continue our journey into every word spoken by Jesus in the Gospels to help us all KNOW JESUS MORE NOW.

We’re in the midst of a deeeeep dive into this rather provocative question: Who did Jesus say he is?

We started with these three answers: Son of Man, Son of God and Messiah.

Yesterday, we begin a look at eight “I am” statements Jesus made that further define who he is. The first: the Bread of Life.

Here’s today’s rather illuminating installment:

Shine

We continue our journey through every word spoken by Jesus in the Gospels to help us all KNOW JESUS MORE NOW.

Jesus said that “all the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments”:

Love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength.
Love your neighbor as yourself.

(Matthew 22:37-40; Mark 12:28-34)

We’re in the midst of reviewing 50 commands straight from the mouth of Jesus that show what it reeeeeally means to love God and others. Here’s today’s featured command:
