MATTHEW 5.14-16
YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD

Our Lord Jesus, in Matthew 5.14-16, uses a metaphor to teach us something very important. In this metaphor, He likens His disciples to light. This is what He says.

Matthew 5.14. “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.
