By Pastor Shirley Flores
“15 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. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. 17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.”
I recently celebrated my fortieth birthday on Friday, May 15, 2020. Matthew is the fortieth book of the Bible. May is the fifth month… do you see the pattern?
This passage perked me up to pay more attention to what I am doing as a believer and as a pastor. As I get older, I do not want to slack off. I want to do and teach. I want my light to shine before men, that they see my good works and glorify my Father which is in heaven. That has always been my goal in life, and I want to stay focused to see that it is complete. -SAF-
