"Being Salt and a Light"

"In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not." ~ John 1:4&5. The LORD Jesus Christ is the LIGHT OF THE WORLD. That Light can shine through us if we allow the LORD full reign in our hearts. "Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. ." ~ Matthew 5:13.

Some truths about Christ's light from John 1

1. Christ is Life and the LIGHT of men ~ vs. 4... Only Christ has the ability to free men and give them life.

2. Christ shineth in darkness ~ vs. 5... All around the world are dark places... places of people who are living trapped in their own lies. Those dark places are right out your front door. Every time you go to the store, you are surrounded by people in darkness. And my friend if you don’t know Jesus as your personal Savior you too are trapped in that darkness.

3. Christians are to have the LIGHT of Christ shining in us... we are to be witnesses of that LIGHT. ~ vs. 7-8.

4. Christ is the TRUE LIGHT. Many people think they have found truth and that they are enlightened but they are still walking in the darkness of man’s philosophy.

5. Christ as the TRUE LIGHT witnessed to others. ~ vs. 35-51.

6. We are to witness to others giving Christ’s LIGHT.

When is the last time you handed a tract to someone? When is the last time you prayed for lost souls? When is the last time you prayed for someone to share Christ too? Are you busy being a LIGHT to this world... are you salt or have you lost your savour?
