Discuss this:
“You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill-top cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp to put it under a tub; they put it on the lamp-stand where it shines for everyone in the house. In the same way your light must shine in people’s sight, so that seeing your good works, they may give praise to your Father in heaven.”
(Mt 5: 14-16)
What is Jesus telling us about ourselves?
What are we doing about it?
*****
In our groups discussion, we were 'wowwed' by Jesus calling us "light of the world" and it was quickly pointed out that darkness needs only a little light!
When we looked at "seeing your good works", we realized the importance of maintaining and encouraging good work standards.
For people to "praise your Father in heaven", they need to understand our motivation. So, using appropriate ways, we need to let people know what motivates us.
