00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:12.720
<v SPEAKER_00>When we live our lives in obedience to Jesus, choose to follow Him, Scripture describes our role as salt and light.

00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:17.359
<v SPEAKER_00>You are the salt of the earth, Jesus says in Matthew 5.13.

00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:22.239
<v SPEAKER_00>And later in verse 14, he says, You are the light of the world.

00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:28.559
<v SPEAKER_00>Our relationship with Jesus is meant to be reflected to a world that desperately needs him.

00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:35.920
<v SPEAKER_00>And as we walk in this reality, others will see our reflection of Jesus and be pointed to him.

00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:42.719
<v SPEAKER_00>Let's read through Matthew 5.13 through 16 together.

00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:44.719
<v SPEAKER_00>You are the salt of the earth.

00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:49.280
<v SPEAKER_00>But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?

00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:55.759
<v SPEAKER_00>It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:58.079
<v SPEAKER_00>You are the light of the world.

00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:01.280
<v SPEAKER_00>A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.

00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:04.959
<v SPEAKER_00>Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.

00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:09.840
<v SPEAKER_00>Instead, they put it on its stand and it gives light to everyone in the house.

00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:18.959
<v SPEAKER_00>In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:28.000
<v SPEAKER_00>Ask God to remove distractions as we spend time praying today.

00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:31.359
<v SPEAKER_00>Thank God that He has called you saw and light.

00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:10.319
<v SPEAKER_00>Pray that they would see Christ clearly through your words and actions.

00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:42.560
<v unknown>Amen.
