====================
🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Jesus uses extreme metaphors (Salt, Light, City) to convey the message of living an evangelistic life.
- Salt: it symbolizes preserving, seasoning, and sacrifice. It represents Christians' role in preserving integrity and adding flavor to the world.
- Light: light is a revealer. Only contact with the spirit of God can awaken the spirit of man. Christians are called to be the light of the world, revealing God's truth and nature.
- City: is a reflection of the Kingdom of God into the earth. Christians should not seek to blend in but to uphold values rooted in the Kingdom.
- Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

====================
📖 SCRIPTURES
- [Matthew 5:11-16] “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet. “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
- [Leviticus 2:13] “Season all your grain offerings with salt. Do not leave the salt of the covenant of your God out of your grain offerings; add salt to all your offerings.”
- [John 8:12] “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
- [John 6:63] “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.”
- [2 Corinthians 6:14] “Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?”
- [Matthew 5:11,12] "Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven...”
