사진: 사이트 C의 노블리카야 목사님께서 다음과 같이 나누어 주셨습니다. “이분들은 은틀로코 가정입니다. 지난 주에 부쿠를 소개해 드렸습니다. 이분들이 예수 안에서 소망을 찾았고 예수님의 사랑에 얼마나 갈급해 있는지를 볼수 있었습니다. 중간에 있는 남자분이 저희 교회의 새신자입니다.

“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.
Matthew 5:14‭-‬15 NIV +++

Written by Jung

Let me share a story. It is supposedly an encounter between an American Naval vessel and Canadians.

Americans: “Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision.”

Canadians: “Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.”

Americans: “This is the captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.”

Canadians: “No, I say again, you divert YOUR course.”

Americans: “THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN, THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES’ ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS, AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH. THAT’S ONE-FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTERMEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.”

Canadians: “This is a lighthouse. Your call.”

As Jesus said, you are the light of the world. The world will try to discourage you and convince you that you are not of any significance.

However, the world needs the light in you. Even though you might feel smaller than what you are facing, you have the truth in you that never to be shaken or discouraged, as the lighthouse in the story.

Stand your ground in Jesus.
