The metaphor of a lighthouse aptly describes the role of God's called-out saints in a darkened world, providing hope, guidance, and stability in a world darkened by chaos and confusion. Lighthouses, having anchored solid foundations provide safety and direction in the same manner as Jesus Christ, serving as the ultimate source of light, steering humanity away from spiritual darkness. John 8:12 and Matthew 5:14-16 identify Jesus Christ as a Beacon of light, penetrating thorough the darkness, providing hope, guidance, and salvation. Likewise, his called-out saints are mandated to emulate Him, reflecting God's light by living righteously. We, as God's saints, must build a solid foundation by ingesting scripture, praying, and applying God's teachings in our daily lives. Only by embracing God's light can we find direction, peace, and purpose by selflessly serving others, our spiritual siblings, and the world at large. Small acts of kindness speak volumes to those with whom we interface. As a metaphorical lighthouse, we are exclusively committed to serving others.
