Salt & LIGHT of the World
Light
- "You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can't be hidden.
- People don't light a lamp and put it under a basket but on a lamp stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.
- In the same way, let your light shine before people in such a way that they will see your good actions and glorify your Father in heaven." (Mat 5:14-16)
If you haven't read Part 1 of this two part series on Salt & Light, please take the time to do so. I had never given much thought about this subject until one day, a couple of months ago, I was re-reading the Sermon on the Mount, and these four short verses were illuminated in my mind. When that happens, I start to ask questions like: OK! Why did Jesus use the terms "Salt" & "Light"? Why not just say "Be My examples?"
