Sermon on the Mount: The BeatitudesSample

Day 29:

Living the Beatitudes

Becoming salt and light

Jesus calls His followers “the salt of the earth” and “the light of the world.” - Matthew 5:13-16. As salt, we are to preserve goodness and add the flavor of God’s love to the world. As light, we are called to shine brightly, illuminating the truth of God’s word and guiding others to Him. This calling is both a privilege and a responsibility, reminding us that our words and actions can influence those around us.

Being salt and light means living out our faith in practical, tangible ways. It could be through acts of kindness, standing up for what is right, or sharing our hope in Christ. It also means living with integrity and authenticity so that others see the love and grace of Jesus reflected in our lives. Our witness is strongest when it flows naturally from a heart transformed by God.

Let us pray for boldness and wisdom to be faithful witnesses, bringing God’s kingdom into every place we go. May our lives be a beacon of hope and a testimony of His love.

Prayer focus:

Praying to be a witness of God’s kingdom through your words and actions.
