Sermon on the Mount - More Perfectly
Part VIII
Light of the world

Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick;
and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 5:14-16

Light of the world?  Us?

Let's first examine these teachings in the Gospels to the Jews and as we have been doing, finding out what Paul says about the light of the world.

But first, does it even matter?

Of course, Jesus Himself 'was' the light!
14: Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Get to the Question right away - Are 'we' the light of the world today? Well yes, but...
15: Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16: Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Sermon notes from King James Bible Church of Touchet, WA=Pastor - Mike Paulson

The entire King James Bible is written FOR us, but it is not all written TO us!
We learn from the "For" and we try to apply the 'TO!"
