Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. {Matthew 5:14-15}.
The impact of light in our world can't be over emphasized. If you've ever traveled in an airplane I'm sure you'll understand what I mean. Each time you traveled by air you'll always be intrigued at the view you'll see from an airplane, particularly when it's about to land in the night. When you look out of the window before it commences its descent, you won't be able to see anything because everywhere is dark. But at it descends, you'll begin to see flickers of lights, in spite of the fact that you're still thousands of feet from the ground. Many times, you'll be able to distinguish between the headlight of cars and those of different houses.
Being able to see and differentiate the light of cars moving and those of different homes, right from up the clouds is simply amazing. This means, just one light can make a whole world of difference in a dark world. No wonder the Lord Jesus said we're like the city that's set upon a hill which can't be hidden. In other words, a child of God can't be hidden as his light is shining ever so brightly.
The Bible says, "And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising" {Isaiah 60:3}.
Put differently, the unbeliever and kings; people of remarkable influence-dignitaries- will come to you because the glory of God is shining through you. many of them are already peeping through their windows to look at you as you pass by: they recognize that you're the light of the world; so light up you world.
I am the light of the world, for the glory of God is shining in me by the Spirit of God. Through these treasures are encased in an earthen vessel, they flow through me to my world like a flood, touching lives, healing the sick, delivering the oppressed and lifting the downtrodden, to the praise and glory of the Name of Jesus Christ.

LIGHT UP YOUR WORLD
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. {Matthew 5:14-15}.
