God's People Make a Difference

Matthew 5:13-16

You are the salt of the earth

But if the salt has lost it's savour,

how will it be salt?

It is henceforth good for nothing,

but to be cast out,

and to be walked over.

Matthew 5:14-16

You are the light of the world,

A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.

Neither do men light a candle,

and put it under a basket,

but on a candlestick;

and it gives light to all that are in the house.

Let your light so shine before people,

that they may see your good works,

and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

So there you go....Christ tells us in simple yet easy to understand word pictures. Salt and light of a candle.  If we are salt we are to be used to bring out the flavor's in all we see, do, experience, touch, say, think, act, and are in and around people, nature and on this earth.

A candle, such light is to soft to not relax to and appreciate.  Does your life exude a soft yet penetrating light?  Do you pierce the darkness with your witness?  Do you stand on a candlestick or do you hide behind the curtain of your church?  Do you stand for God 24/7 and shed light to others or do you hide it?

Simple terms, huge task it seems for many. 

Grace and peace be to you today.
