““You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet. “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”
MATTHEW 5:13-16
The Light of the World entered into a darkened world. Illuminating the sky with a star, and a hillside with a host of angels - gloriously bright. His light was too bright, too wonderful, too purifying to be hidden away. His was the light of life.
But even today we still live in a darkened world - where everything seems to catch refractions of His light, but things can still seem so dark. As His followers, we are invited to reflect His glorious light by being a light to the world. To be a city on a hill, to shine before others that God may receive the glory. We are invited to be salt-preserving life and light, bringing the flavor of the Kingdom and the King to a darkened world. This is the life that to some are the aroma of life and to others the stench of death. But this is the call for every follower of Christ.
