SALT and LIGHT

Believers Are SALT and LIGHT 

(Matthew 5:13-16)

13 “You are the SALT of the earth; 
      but if the SALT loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned?
      It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.
14 “You are the LIGHT of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 
15 Nor do they LIGHT a lamp and put it under a basket, 
      but on a lampstand, and it gives LIGHT to all who are in the house. 
16 Let your LIGHT so shine before men, 
      that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
In the most famous sermon ever preached, Jesus told believers that they were:
The SALT of the earth and
The LIGHT of the world.
For a fun object lesson, you can get out some black construction paper
and write a message or picture or scribble scrabble on it with glue.
Then, pour SALT over it (like you would glitter).
It gives kids the image of taking the SALT into the dark world.
You can also take your kids into a dark room and give them a candle or
a tea light and show them how the LIGHT pierces the darkness.
Remember that we can't be the LIGHT without THE TRUE LIGHT [JESUS] in us.
