same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good<br />

deeds and praise your Father in heaven.<br />

1Pet. 2:9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation,<br />

a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who<br />

called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.<br />

There are two types of reflection:<br />

1. Scattering: Here light falls on the object and object scatters it in<br />

all directions. We see objects by their scattered light. We can see<br />

the paper because it scatters the light.<br />

2. Specular reflections. Here the light falling on it is reflected in an<br />

orderly fashion. It is not mixed one into the other. We do not see<br />

the reflecting object, but we see the light source. This is what a<br />

mirror does.<br />

You can become a mirror so that<br />

ministry people will rarely see Jesus through you. The more<br />

orderly you reflect Jesus in your life; others will be able to see Jesus<br />

more clearly. The less light you scatter, the more you are filled<br />

Jesus will be seen by others. Transformation from an opaque,<br />

rough surface to the smooth, polished mirror is accomplished by<br />

abiding in the word of God and living in the Spirit.<br />
