Out of Darkness

As followers of Jesus, we are called to be light in a dark world. Those who are spiritually blind need believers who will lovingly guide them toward Christ, the only one who can open their eyes. Scripture gives us practical ways to fulfill this mission with wisdom, compassion, and boldness.

Jesus told His disciples, “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden” (Matthew 5:14). Our actions and words should shine God’s truth so that others may see and glorify Him. Leading the spiritually blind to Christ begins by living a life that reflects His love, humility, and grace.

Paul describes believers as ambassadors for Christ, entrusted with the message of reconciliation. He reminds us that God is making His appeal through us as we call others to return to Him (2 Corinthians 5:20). This role requires intentionality—being mindful of how we interact with others and always pointing them to Jesus.

Colossians 4:5-6 encourages us to “live wisely among those who are not believers” and to make the most of every opportunity. Paul adds that our conversations should be gracious and seasoned with salt, full of kindness and truth. When we engage with spiritually blind individuals, we must avoid judgment and instead speak with gentleness and respect. Peter echoes this, urging believers always to be prepared to give an answer for the hope they have, doing so with humility (1 Peter 3:15).

Finally, James reminds us of the eternal significance of this work. When we lead someone back to the truth, we help save them from spiritual death and bring them into God’s kingdom (James 5:19-20).

Pray for those who are spiritually blind and seek opportunities to share the light of Christ through your actions and words. God uses willing hearts to bring His truth to a world in need.
