Matthew 5 Robert C. Newman - newmanlib.ibri.org - 8. Let Your Light Shine Matthew 5 Robert C. Newman Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks

Introduction - newmanlib.ibri.org - In the last of our series of eight talks on light, we sketch Jesus’ instructions to his followers given in the Gospel of Matthew. In his Sermon on the Mount, in Matthew 5, our Lord gives us two pictures of how we should conduct ourselves as we carry out his commission. These are found in Matthew 5:13-16. Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks

The Christian’s Mission in the World - newmanlib.ibri.org - Matthew 5:13-16 (NIV) You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. 14 You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks

The Christian’s Mission Compared to Salt - newmanlib.ibri.org - The Christian’s Mission Compared to Salt Matthew 5:13 Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks

Compared to Salt - newmanlib.ibri.org - Matt 5:13 (NIV) You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. What is salt good for? A number of things, but primarily for: Seasoning – a little makes food worth eating Preservative – a large amount keeps food from spoiling Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks

Compared to Salt “You are the salt of the earth.” - newmanlib.ibri.org - “You are the salt of the earth.” You: earth = salt: food Christians make life worth living in their society. Christians keep society from spoiling. Salt is worthless without saltiness Taste Ability to preserve No better than gravel! So Christians must maintain their distinct lifestyle, or they are worthless to the world. Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks

The Christian’s Mission Compared to Light - newmanlib.ibri.org - The Christian’s Mission Compared to Light Matthew 5:14-16 Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks

Compared to Light - newmanlib.ibri.org - Matt 5:14-16 (NIV) You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. What does light do? Seen at a distance – it guides Seen close up – it illuminates Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks

Compared to Light “You are the light of the world.” - newmanlib.ibri.org - “You are the light of the world.” You: world = light: surroundings Light is worthless if hidden. You can’t hide a city that is on a hill. You can hide a lamp, but don’t (normally) do so. Let your light shine in such a way  God is glorified. Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks

How Let Our Light Shine? Note reference to good works in verse 16. - newmanlib.ibri.org - Note reference to good works in verse 16. Matt 5:16 (NIV) In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. Do your good works to be seen by others? No, see Matt 6:1 (NIV) Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks

How Let Our Light Shine? - newmanlib.ibri.org - Rather, we need to have God build into our lives the lifestyle of the Sermon on the Mount. Then we will stand out without showing off. Some dangers to avoid: Being the same as the world around us. Being hidden from the world in our own ghettos. Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks

Conclusions - newmanlib.ibri.org - Is my life making the world a more pleasant place to live in? Am I helping to preserve the world from decay? Does my life attract people’s attention to the Gospel? Does my life help others to see what life is all about? Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks

- newmanlib.ibri.org - The End Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. Abstracts of Powerpoint Talks
