Matthew 5:13-16
“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no
longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under
people's feet.
Matthew 5:13-16“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a
stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine
before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father
who is in heaven.”
Matthew 5:13-16
You are the salt of the earth
You are the light of the world
As salt and light, we bring the taste and atmosphere of Jesus’ kingdom to our
world. If Food + Atmosphere = Experience, then the experience of the kingdom comes from His
followers!
