Chris.
We are lights for the World, like cities on a hill. If we a travelling in a vehicle across a plain at night and there is a hill in the distance, if there are any cities on that hill they can be clearly seen by a glow of light, even at a distance! This is how our lives should be as True Believers. We are supposed to be like cities on a hill at night time.
