But they put it on a candlestick, and it giveth light to all that are in the house: in like manner, it is the design of God that every Christian should be in an open point of view; that he may give light to all around, that he may visibly express the religion of Jesus Christ.
—John Wesley

“As a boy, I was not a Christian. I did not have the privilege of growing up in a home where Christ was known & loved.
God spoke to me through a street preacher who quoted the words of Jesus, “Come unto me, all ye that labour & are heavy laden & I will give you rest.”
Men say they don’t want to give up their freedom. There is no freedom until a man knows the Lord Jesus Christ. A man is slave to sin, to his passions and lusts until Christ snaps the fetters and sets him free.
—D. L. Moody
Cross and crown, death and resurrection, humiliation and exaltation lie on the same line. As Jesus Himself put it after His resurrection: It was necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and so enter His glory (Luke 24:26).

Let us ask that the stillness in which only His lights can shine may be ever around us, the stillness of the calm of His presence. And oh, let us ask that in this dark world we may so shine that others may see to read His love in the face of our loving Jesus.

“If ye love Christ, show it, and show it by doing good to others, by laying yourself out to help others that Jesus may have joy of them.”
At that point the enemies saw clear. You may accept the lofty claims of Jesus. You may take Him as very God. Or else you must reject Him as a miserable, deluded enthusiast. There is really no middle ground. Jesus refuses to be pressed into the mould of a mere religious teacher.

May God help His own people to shine brightly, to flash out of darkness, that men may take knowledge of us that we have been with Jesus!
—D. L. Moody
For us Jesus does not merely place His fingers in the ears and say, Be opened; for us He does not merely say “Arise and walk.” For us He has done a greater thing–for us He died.

If the world has nothing to say against you, it is a pretty sure sign that God has not much to say for you, for if you do seek to live unto Christ Jesus, you must go against the current of the world.

This fact is proved better than any other event in history.
