Matthew 5:14-16New International Version (NIV)

14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Matthew:14-16 tell us that we need to do God's good works. The works involved are those that glorify God and not ourselves.

In light of what is happening in Philippine volleyball, being a light, for me, is telling the truth and upholding what is right in the eyes of God. In telling and writing the truth, people are informed and are able to discern what is right. Christianity dictates that action is needed to combat lies and deception that are perpetrated by selfish individuals. As what light does, Christianity enables men to see - see the truth and the path to take.

Have a meaningful and joyful holy week.
