Light » Who is a light

Blessed are they that mourn; for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek; for they shall inherit the earth. Bless ed are they that hunger and thirst for righteousness; for they shall be filled.

Blessed are they that are persecuted on account of righteousness; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you, when they shall reproach you, and persecute you, and say every evil thing against you, falsely, on my account. Rejoice, and leap for joy; for great is your reward in heaven: for so did they persecute the prophets who were before you.

In this way let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
