Matthew 13-16
“Let me tell you why you are here. You’re here
to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this earth. If you lose
your saltiness, how will people taste godliness? You’ve lost your usefulness
and will end up in the garbage.
“Here’s another way
to put it: You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world.
God is not a secret to be kept. We’re going public with this, as public as a
city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don’t think I’m going to hide
you under a bucket, do you? I’m putting you on a light stand. Now that I’ve put
you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous
with your lives. By opening up to others, you’ll prompt people to open up with
God, this generous Father in heaven.
