A CITY ON AN HILL

 

"You are the light of the world. A CITY ON AN HILL cannot be hidden."

(Matthew 5:14 NIV)

 

The gentle light of a hill-set city always reaches out as if to warmly embrace the weary wilderness traveler. So also, the light of God's love, emanating from His people, radiates forth to embrace every sin-sick soul, journeying through the realm of time.

 

Mediation verses:

 

“But the path of the just is like the shining sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.”

Proverbs 4:18 (NKJ)

 

“But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels,

 to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,”

Hebrews 12:22-23 (NKJ)

 

“Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, ‘Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb's wife.’

And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

 having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal.”

 Revelation 21:9-11 (NKJ)
