"Arise, Jerusalem! Let your light shine for all to see. For the glory of the Lord rises to shine on you. Darkness as black as night covers all the nations of the earth, but the glory of the Lord rises and appears over you. All nations will come to your light; mighty kings will come to see your radiance." When Jesus told His disciples to be the light of the world and compared them to a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden (Matthew 5:14), He may have been reminding them of Isaiah's description of the future glory of Jerusalem as a point of comparison. Isaiah says that when God comes to be with his people, His glory transforms their outlook, their destiny from one of darkness that covers this world to one of light where God's truth and righteousness reigns. When God abides with His people, the radiance of His glory casts its shine on them so they become light in a darkened world. When God's radiant glory shines through your life, people are attracted to your light and will come to find out the source of your light. So let your light shine!
