Salt of the Earth & Light of the World Presented by: Steve Brown Church of Christ Camp Meeting Cheyenne Mt. Resort July 9 th 2010

Matthew 5: ”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 it’s 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.”

“You are the salt of the Earth” SALT=NaCL=Sodium Chloride=a white, crystalline substance with a specific taste found in sea water, natural earth beds, etc. used for seasoning and preserving foods, etc.

Don’t Look Back Gen 19:17 “Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the Mts. Or you will be swept away!”

Colossians 4:5-6 Mark 10:50 “Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.” “Have salt in yourselves and be at peace with each other.”

“You are the Light of the World”

1John 1:5-7 “God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.”

John 3:19-21 “This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly so that what he has done has been done through God”

1John 5:11 Acts 4:12 “God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.” “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”
