CHRIST HIDDEN IN YOU?

 

CHRIST HIDDEN IN YOU?

Matt. 5:15-16 “Don’t hide your light under a basket! Instead, put it on a stand and let it shine for all. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.” NLT

Don’t do it. Don’t keep Christ hidden in you. Don’t compartmentalize your faith. Let Christ be seen in you all day long every day of your life. Let all see Christ in you. May all who know you and see you in action be moved to praise the Lord because of His presence in you.

Now, I know the world will not praise God for Christ in you. In fact, most will rebel against you and even reject you because of your faith. The world does not want to see Christ. They are in denial about Him and if they could, they would totally wipe out His presence in the world. The world may not take kindly to your faith, but one thing they should never be able to do is to deny the fact that you are different because Christ is in you.

Let your deeds proclaim Christ in you. You can make a difference in the world by simply letting Christ be seen in you. Your deeds will not go unnoticed. People may deny what you proclaim, but they can’t deny the good that you do. Whatever you do in Jesus’ name is noted by God and recorded in heaven. He is a rewarder of all those who do good through Christ.

If no one knows you are a believer by the way you live and talk, then you need to reexamine your faith; something is amiss. You cannot hide Christ in you. His glory outshines the sun and His glory resides in you.

Is Christ in you? If He is, you cannot blend into the world and go unnoticed. The natural thing for a light to do is shine, dispelling the darkness around it. Stand out from the crowd, do good, and you will make a difference in the world for Christ.
