Light and Salty Christians | Matthew 5:13-16 - Built Different

About this episode

The episode discusses how Christians are called to reflect Jesus in their lives as the salt of the earth and light of the world.

Christians don’t get a neutral life. Whether you realise it or not, your life is already saying something about Jesus. In Matthew 5:13-16, Jesus calls his people the salt of the earth and the light of the world. In other words, followers of Jesus are meant to stand out. Not by trying to be noticed, but by reflecting him in the way they live. Not blending in. Not pointing to themselves. But showing what God is like in a world that’s watching. So the question is: Does your life point to Jesus?
