God's Billboard

God’s Billboard

“You are the light of the world – like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.  No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket.  Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house.  In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.”

–Matthew 5:14-16 NLT

On any state highway or street, side of a bus, pop up on the internet, and every few minutes on TV, you will see billboards and commercials advertising a variety of things.  Those advertisements represent a product or company.  When you see them, you think about the company it represents.  The same is true of Christ’s followers.  As you go about your daily life, you are a billboard, commercial, or advertisement for Christ. 

In God’s Word, we are called to let our light shine before men.  It should be clear to everyone that sees your billboard that you are a product or representative for Christ.  So ask yourself, ‘What am I advertising?’
