Nobody Is Going To Say "Pass the Salt"

If you are in CHRIST and CHRIST is in you (by faith) that is what a Christian is.

Then nobody is going to ask you to Pass the Salt or Turn on the light!

Why?

Because JESUS already said you were 'salt' and 'light'

We explained this to our two boys like this:

They are both Canadian/ Finnish background, boys.
We said, (to teach them this lesson)
"Ok listen here, you two are going to try and start to act like
Finnish boys!"

They looked puzzled, as I thought they would.

You can't try to act like a male if you are a male. You can't act
Canadian if you are Canadian.

Matthew 5:13-14
JESUS said: "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."
"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden."

It works kind of like this:
The sun is the greater light and the moon the lessor light.
The moon only reflects the sun.

And that is the same with you.

You don't try to be the moon, if you are the moon.
Salt doesn't try to be salt - it is salt!

JESUS in this story is like the sun (greater light) and you the moon
relfecting HIS brilliance and light.

And so with you, you are light, you are salt.

You don't try to be something you already are!

So, Let your light shine - because it already does.
