Let Your Light Shine — Part 1

February 7, 2022

We often blame someone or something else for the corruption that we see in the world (politicians, Hollywood, etc.). But Jesus declared that we are the salt of the earth and the light of the world! The purpose of salt is to preserve things, and the purpose of light is to illuminate darkness. Join Nate and Gabe as they discuss our identity as salt and light.

In scripture we see that God is Light and Jesus is Light. It is almost shocking then when we hear Jesus say to His disciples, “You are the light of the world”! How does this work? Just like the moon can only be light as it reflects the light of the sun, so we as disciples of Christ can only be light as we reflect Christ. We have no light in ourselves. It is the very life and light of Jesus that is to shine through us!
