Matthew 5:14-16 (NLT) - Jesus says you are the light of the world. This is present tense, meaning right now! The Greek word for light is "Phose", where we get the word photograph. You are supposed to be a photo of Jesus. Light does two things: it reveals truth and exposes darkness. - Here He says you are the light of the world. Now the source of light doesn't come from us, that's a new-age misconception. We reflect Jesus' light to the world. - We fail to reflect the light because our life is not focused on the son... WE MUST BE SEPARATE CHURCH from the WORLD, in the world but not of the world... Matthew 5:17-20 (NLT) Righteousness means right standing with God...how are you in your standing today with God? - Are you a seasoned Christian that has lost its saltiness? - Has the world eclipsed your reflection of Christ? - Are you in the right relationship with God today to have hope for Heaven? - Are you desperate enough as Bridget for the light of Christ to fill your home?
