Are you Jesus

'You are the light of the world. Let your light shine before others that they may see your good works and give Glory to your Father in heaven.' Matthew 5:14-16(paraphrased)
There are so many ways we can be the light of Christ in this world and I recall a  story that I heard many years ago: Three men were running late for their flight home after a convention and in their haste they knocked over a stand that was selling apples and they went everywhere. In fear of missing their flight the men kept going. As they got close to the departure gate one of the men said to his friends, 'call my wife and tell her I will be on a later flight' and he turned and went back to the apple stand where the young girl was struggling to gather the apples. He proceeded to help her and in conversation discovered she was blind. With the apples back in place, he gave her money for the damaged ones and said his good bye. As he was walking away she called out to him 'Mister, are you Jesus?'
Think about how your daily actions can cause others to see Jesus.
Grace and peace from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Anne, servant of the Lord.
