Salt And Light
Why not just let your little light shine already?
Matthew 5:13-16
If we look at the Beatitudes as the statement of the life of faith.
The man of Faith is happy..
Then we can look at the next verses as the vision statement:
Salt and Light
We are made to be seen
They’re supposed to taste us
We don’t gotta hide it
We’re gonna stick out.
I’m good with that.
I don’t need to hide
I am not ashamed
I want them to praise God!
I need my good works to be seen so people know God is up to something!
So what if others see?
That just means they will see Him more!
If you’re living by faith, you don’t have to try to be seen.
You’re just different, You Stick Out!
You might as well be ready to give an answer for the Hope that lies in you!
JESUS!!!
He’s the only one that makes it work.
He’s the only one that’s allowed to make me EXTRA happy!!
He’s the only one.
Really, since it’s Him working in us, it’s kinda like Jesus when He said..
If you’ve seen me, you’ve seen the Father..
After all, He is Immanuel.
God With Us!
We don’t have to go looking for recognition, it will just find us…
Even if we try to make it go away.
But, of course, He had to carry His own luggage on the return trip, if you know what I mean…
That power is like the working of His might power when He raised Christ from the dead,
and seated Him in at His right hand in the heavenly realms.
Far above all rule and authority and power and dominion,
and every title that can be given,
not only in the present age, but also in the one to come
Eph 1:19-21
