Matthew 5:16
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” NKJV
In the Old Testament God gave a prophetic message through the prophet Isaiah to the people, saying that a great light would come in the midst of gloom and the shadow of darkness and his name would be called Immanuel, God with us. In Matthew 4:16 this particular passage is mentioned again:
Matthew 4:16 “The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, And upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death Light has dawned." – NKJV
Notice how it says, “Light has dawned”. It was mentioned in Matthew as a reminder that Jesus coming to earth was a fulfillment of prophecy to be the light of the world a great light in the midst of darkness, condemnation and gloom. Read more here.
