TEXT:
Matthew 5:13-16
13.
“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.
14.
“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be
hidden.”
15.
Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it
gives light to all who are in the house.
16.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and
glorify your Father in heaven.
(New
King James Version Holy Bible)
TOPIC:
DESCRIPTION OF THE CHRISTIAN
Jesus resolved the
crisis of identity that Christians may be experiencing when he described them
as the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
This comes with a lot
of responsibilities for Christians who are representatives of Christ on earth.
They are supposed to provide the flavor as well as the preservative needed to
conserve the decaying world.
They should also serve
as the light so that people will see the way to Christ and find the strength to
continue living for Him.
As you live,
consciously check your lifestyle in your family, neighbourhood, office,
business place, etc, to make sure that you are what Christ called you to be –
the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
QUESTION:
Are you doing any good in your sphere of existence as its salt and light?
PRAYER: Help me, dear Father, to do what is right to influence people to follow the right path in order to make our community a better place, in Jesus name. Amen.
Remain
Blessed
