Salt and Light
Matthew 5:14 “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.”
light
of the... Believers
become lights of divinity in the kosmos,
social system of men. light
Greek: phos,
underived and absolute light—the opposite of all darkness.
Therefore, used especially of God (1Tim. 6:16; 1Jhn. 1:5) and of
Christ (John 1:4-10).
In these Scriptures above, Jesus is explaining that if we are Christians, then we have His Light dwelling within us. This Light of Jesus should be so brightly shining, that no one need ask if we are saved; but they should be quick to see the glow of this Light within us. This Light goes with us and should illuminate wherever we are.
A light is meant to shine and give direction. Individuals Jesus described in Mat. 5:3-10 would obviously radiate and point others to the proper path. Their influence would be evident, like a city on a hill or a lamp… on its stand.
