The first analogy that comes to my mind is the lighthouse. The lighthouse is the perfect metaphor for describing the Christian life. lighthouse is a tall tower Built on a strong foundation with a navigation of the shoreline or harbor mouth. The same purpose in the light of lighthouse is in close comparison to the purpose of the believer ; s life through Jesus Christ.
The lighthouse is a tall tower that is usually built on an island or cliff. They are placed above the sea. The lighthouse is used as a refugee to lost ships for guidance and safety purposes. Jesus Christ came as refugee to a dying, sin-sick world. We receive salvation by calling on the name of Jesus Christ. This is the only name in which any anyone His love and strength (Psalm 61: 3). We have to keep our eyes above our circumstances and stay focused on our We have a strong foundation in God through Jesus Christ which gives us the assurance of everlasting life (1 John 5: 11 - 12).
Jesus Christ is the light of the world. Once we accept Him as Lord and Savior in our lives we have that same "light" within us. We have been sanctified or set apart for. "of light" that is now in us, we have become a peculiar people (1 Peter 2: 9). Our pattern of living should be based on the life We are to live our lives in such a way that the unbeliever will be drawn to the "light" in us and seek Our lives should illuminate the eternal hope we have in serving a loving god and deter a dying world from the danger of being eternally separated from Him.
It is imperative that it is constant operation to be a guiding light to the ships out to sea. It is imperative that the has have constant guide to the shoreline Such as our speech. He illuminates the pathway to our heavenly Father and has given us that same "light" to shine before mankind. Jesus Christ illuminate through our lives to the darkness of this world. and as His disciples, we are the light of the world also. should always exemplify the "light" inherited through Jesus Christ. The Lord is the world of our salvation and is the world & # 39; s only escape from eternal darkness and the pathway to our heaven Father (Psalm 27: 1).
