How Jesus Lived - Salt and Light

We’ve heard Jesus describe what it means to live blessed — now He calls us to live bold.

📖 Matthew 5:13–16 (CSB)

“You are the salt of the earth.
You are the light of the world.
A city situated on a hill cannot be hidden…
Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.”

Salt preserves what’s good and adds flavor where life feels bland.
Light exposes darkness and brings direction.
That’s what we’re called to do as followers of Jesus — quietly preserve truth and boldly shine hope.

🧂 Be the salt — live with purity and truth that keeps your surroundings from decaying.
💡 Be the light — reflect Jesus in every word, choice, and act of love.
🌆 Be the city on a hill — live openly for His glory, not your own.

📖 Philippians 2:15 (CSB)

“Shine like stars in the world by holding firm to the word of life.”

You don’t have to be perfect to shine — you just have to stay close to the Source.
Even a small candle lights a dark room.

💭 Reflection:

Where might God be asking you to bring light this week?

Are your words and actions preserving what’s good?

Is your life pointing others toward the Father?

Shine with grace. Season with truth. Live so that others glorify God when they see His light in you. ✨
