Mandy, the family’s precious black lab, bounded into the house and startled everyone with the sight of light coming out of her mouth. It was amazing. She had real light originating from her mouth. It was really spooky, but just as suddenly she dashed outside again but this time with the family close behind. After all this was just too weird. What they saw next was amazing. She was running around the yard snapping at fireflies and catching them. The light was the phosphorescent material left on her teeth from her strange activity.
Light coming out of someone’s mouth is a fascinating idea. That is exactly what happened when Jesus was here. The things He said. The sermons He preached. The stories He told all enlightened the world. He was the light of the world. He told us how much the Father cares. He told us we can live forever if we will only accept His gift.
And we can do just what Jesus did. Light can come from our mouths. We can tell the world the Good News. Just think: light coming out of our mouths!
