Salt and Light

Re-read Matthew 4 from yesterday and think back over your comments.

Now look over Matthew 5:13-16

Salt and Light

 ¹³"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.

 ¹⁴"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. ¹⁵Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. ¹⁶In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

So What?

Now take the same definitions from yesterday and see how they apply in this parable.  If we are to be his salt and light we must be Holy and set apart because just as when a circuit to a lightbulb has a bad connection the light flickers in and out; not allowing for a constant stream of light.  If we stay with one foot in the world and one devoted to walking God's path the circuit will not allow for a constant stream because Jesus is our light and if we are suppose to reflect him we have to reflect him fully, not just a little.

How are you going to reflect Jesus today to God's glory?
