Acts 4:10 let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. 11 This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ 12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” NKJV

Not everyone knows that Jesus Christ is the chief cornerstone. Who do you know that needs to hear about it?

Luke 11:27 And it happened, as He spoke these things, that a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, “Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts which nursed You!” 28 But He said, “More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!” NKJV

God's Word, the Bible, is wonderful, as is living by it.

Luke 11:33 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light. 34 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. 35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
36 If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light. KJV

When Jesus gives you light and you appreciate being able to walk in the light, light begins to pervade everything about your life-- to your rejoicing and genuine desire to have no darkness in your life.

Hebrews 1:8 But to the Son He says: “ Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. NKJV

How wonderful that Jesus reigns in righteousness, leads us in righteousness and died for our sins and rose from the grave, so that we may receive His righteousness by believing in Him-- so that we will have right standing with God and can go to Heaven.
