Just as John the Baptist came as a lamp burning and shining before the birth of Jesus Christ and during the Bridegroom's lifetime, we faithful Christians and Children of God have also been commissioned to bear witness of His glorious Light in our new lives, testifying of the Truth, before His second coming in Glory and Majesty, that more souls may receive Him and our Joy be fulfilled, as labourers in the LORD'S Vineyard (John 3:28-29 & 5:33-35).
Being dead to the flesh and alive in the Spirit, we need not call attention to ourselves, nor seek praises from men; rather, we should remain devoted to our Christ's calling - giving God all the glory, while we continuously bear more fruits that remain for His Kingdom.
Furthermore, declaring the Gospel as witnesses of the Truth and Light of God, should be done in love, that hearts may be opened to see Jesus Christ - the Light of God, who leads everyone who receives Him to the Father, as the Way, the Truth and Life.
PRAYER: In Jesus' Holy Name, thank You, Eternal Father, for redeeming me from the kingdom of darkness to become a witness of Your Divine and glorious Light, which reveals the Truth and subdues the forces of darkness, for my good and for the World to know God's Salvation;
Amen.
From John 1:6-7
