You Are the Salt...You Are the Light
|
|
"You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all wo are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:13-16

Jesus said, "You are the salt of the earth....You are the light of the world..."
- Salt and light refer to "influence in secular society".
- Don't lose your influence. "...if the salt loses its flavor..."
- Don't hide your influence. (Put your light on a lampstand, not under a bushel.)
- Your influence in secular society brings God glory. "Let your light so shine..."
