DAY 248
You Are the Light of the World
기원후 1세기
ORIGINAL
Ὑμεῖς ἐστε τὸ φῶς τοῦ κόσμου. οὐ δύναται πόλις κρυβῆναι ἐπάνω ὄρους κειμένη
📜 THE VERSE
You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.
❓ TODAY'S QUESTION
Am I dimming my own light out of fear of being seen?
📝Reflection
A town on a hill cannot hide no matter how hard it tries — at night its lights leak out on their own. This verse is less a command to shine harder than a declaration of what one already is. The trouble is rarely in generating light, but in burying it under a blanket. Humility and self-erasure are not the same. Humbling oneself is beautiful, but erasing one's own existence extinguishes a light the world genuinely needed.
