April 29

I once spoke to a group of prisoners about the text “You are the light of the world.” I showed them that after they received the Lord Jesus as their Saviour, they had the duty of being the light in the darkness of that prison.

One of the men said. “Fellows, this morning I read in the Bible about three murderers. One’s name was Moses, one’s was David, and one’s was Paul. We know them as heroes of God, but all three were also murderers. Look what God did with this trio of murderers! There is hope for you, fellows—and for me.”

You are the light of the world.

Matthew 5:14

Lord, thank You that You were willing to use murderers such as Moses, David, and Paul. Thank You that You want to use me, a sinner saved by grace.
