Conclusion. Have you ever wished to please the Lord? Then be a light to the
world. Be a godly example of goodness, righteousness and hold to Biblical truth. Did you notice that righteousness
includes avoiding “things which are done by them in secret?” He did not say do not watch these
things, do not say these things, do not do these things. He said do not talk about them. What about Biblical
truth? Jesus is going to talk about that next . . .
How is your light shining? The keeper of a lighthouse at Calais was boasting of the brightness
of his lantern from the lighthouse which could be seen ten leagues at sea. A visitor said to him, “What
if one of the lights would go out?” - “Never, - impossible!” He cried, horrified at the
thought. “Sir,” he said, pointing to the ocean, “yonder, where nothing can be seen, there
are ships going by to all parts of the world. If tonight one of the my burners went out, within six months
would come a letter, perhaps from India, perhaps from America, perhaps from some place I never heard saying
on such a night, at such an hour, the light of Calais burned dim, the watchman neglected his post, and vessels
were in danger. Ah, sir! Sometimes in the dark nights in stormy weather, I look out at sea, and feel as if
the eyes of the whole world were looking at my light. Go out? - burn dim? - NEVER!”
