Salt and Light Matthew 5:13-16 The Sermon on the Mount challenged the proud and legalistic religious leaders of the day. If a seasoning has no flavor, it is not effective. If Christians make no effort to affect the world around them, they are not effective for the Kingdom. Christians should not blend in with everyone else. Instead, we should affect others positively, just as seasoning brings out the best flavor in food. Can you hide a city that sits on top of a hill? Its light at night can be seen for miles. If we live for Christ, we will glow like spotlights, lighting up the darkness and showing others what Christ is like. We hide our light by (1) being quiet when we ought to speak, (2) going along with the crowd though repulsed by observed behaviors, (3) denying the light, (4) letting sin dim our light, (5) not explaining our light to others, or (6) ignoring the needs of others. Your priorities and integrity often speak louder than words. How will you be a beacon of truth this week? Do have a blessed weekend beloved.
