Shine as a light in the world to the glory of God the Father
Matthew 5:16
Lights for Christ is an initiative to help us live out our baptismal calling to be lights in the world – to live for Jesus in our everyday lives. We do this by:
- Receiving Christ’s light as his friends (so that our relationship with Jesus becomes deeper)
- Walking in Christ’s light as his followers (living so that we become more like Jesus)
- Reflecting Christ’s light to those around us (so that others see more of Christ in us)
This section explores these ideas further and suggests how they can be put into practice. Here you will find a selection of resources to help you discover what being a Light for Christ could mean for you.
