00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:04.060
 It's not clear who invented the first microscope,

00:00:04.900 --> 00:00:09.500
 but around 1600, the Dutch spectacle maker Zacharias Janssen

00:00:09.500 --> 00:00:13.780
 is credited with making one of the earliest compound microscopes,

00:00:14.140 --> 00:00:15.439
 ones that used two lenses.

00:00:16.379 --> 00:00:20.300
 The development of the microscope opened a whole new world of discovery,

00:00:21.240 --> 00:00:24.859
 allowing scientists to make new insights into the body, disease,

00:00:24.859 --> 00:00:27.320
 and to see the intricacies of creation.

00:00:28.260 --> 00:00:30.920
 One such discovery, laminin.

00:00:31.780 --> 00:00:35.960
 Fun fact, laminin protein is the cell adhesive molecule

00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:37.439
 that holds our cells together.

00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:41.420
 Under a microscope, we see it is shaped like a cross.

00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:45.140
 Last week, we stood and declared what it is we believe,

00:00:45.260 --> 00:00:48.039
 based on Colossians 1 and verse 17.

00:00:48.379 --> 00:00:53.359
 Jesus is before all things, and in him all things are held together.

00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:58.579
 It's crazy how scientific discovery has allowed us to see God's blueprint

00:00:58.579 --> 00:01:00.579
 for holding the body together.

00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:01.799
 Laminin.

00:01:02.519 --> 00:01:03.679
 It's shaped like a cross.

00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:06.959
 And as we know, the cross connects us to God

00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:09.939
 and holds us together as one body in Christ.

00:01:10.819 --> 00:01:11.420
 Is that a coincidence?

00:01:13.019 --> 00:01:15.200
 Well, back to why I mentioned a microscope.

00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:19.480
 As Christians, we are under ever-growing scrutiny.

00:01:20.540 --> 00:01:23.960
 People are vigilantly pulling out the microscope

00:01:23.960 --> 00:01:27.420
 and interrogating Christians under a magnifying glass,

00:01:28.100 --> 00:01:29.640
 trying to catch us out.

00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:34.739
 People want to see our lives matching our faith and belief in Jesus.

00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:37.120
 And fair enough, really.

00:01:38.219 --> 00:01:41.140
 As soon as we slip up, people are ready to pounce.

00:01:42.140 --> 00:01:43.560
 I heard a Christian say this.

00:01:44.620 --> 00:01:45.859
 I saw a Christian do that.

00:01:45.980 --> 00:01:46.680
 You wouldn't believe it.

00:01:47.980 --> 00:01:49.640
 Of course we will fail.

00:01:50.420 --> 00:01:52.280
 Our human nature is sinful.

00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:55.780
 It makes me feel better when Christians fail.

00:01:57.280 --> 00:01:58.280
 I think possibly...

00:01:59.219 --> 00:02:01.840
 It doesn't make me feel better, sorry,

00:02:01.960 --> 00:02:04.700
 but it makes other people who aren't Christians feel better.

00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:08.539
 And I think possibly so they can justify their own disbelief

00:02:08.539 --> 00:02:10.240
 or their own sinfulness

00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:13.460
 or maybe feel self-righteous about their own behaviour.

00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:15.900
 But we are different.

00:02:16.780 --> 00:02:18.879
 We have a clear understanding and conviction

00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:20.800
 of the total depravity of our hearts.

00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:24.820
 We are drawn to God's irresistible grace

00:02:24.820 --> 00:02:26.800
 and unconditional love,

00:02:27.060 --> 00:02:29.380
 knowing that if we humble ourselves,

00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:31.439
 we are forgiven through Jesus.

00:02:32.600 --> 00:02:34.640
 Christianity isn't a club for good people.

00:02:35.300 --> 00:02:37.140
 It's a hospital for broken sinners

00:02:37.140 --> 00:02:41.140
 who need a life overhaul, healing transformation.

00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:45.000
 How is Jesus impacting our lives?

00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:49.260
 This new year, we've been looking at Jesus' upside-down kingdom

00:02:49.259 --> 00:02:50.840
 revealed in the Sermon on the Mount.

00:02:51.519 --> 00:02:52.719
 The last two weeks,

00:02:53.340 --> 00:02:55.819
 the Beatitudes, blessings,

00:02:56.679 --> 00:02:57.659
 or congratulations

00:02:57.659 --> 00:03:00.500
 go to those who have the complete attitude of Jesus.

00:03:01.259 --> 00:03:03.120
 We can't have one or a couple

00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:05.739
 who have the whole attitude of Jesus.

00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:07.780
 There's no escaping it.

00:03:07.780 --> 00:03:09.479
 We are under the microscope.

00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:12.039
 We need our lives

00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:15.060
 and our love for Jesus

00:03:15.060 --> 00:03:17.819
 to shine

00:03:17.819 --> 00:03:20.099
 and we need them to match our calling.

00:03:20.939 --> 00:03:22.659
 Today, we're considering Jesus' call

00:03:22.659 --> 00:03:24.879
 to be salt and light in the world.

00:03:25.819 --> 00:03:27.080
 Before I unpack this,

00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:28.039
 remember,

00:03:28.920 --> 00:03:29.800
 when Jesus spoke,

00:03:29.900 --> 00:03:30.539
 there were no verses.

00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:33.099
 It's one giant speech.

00:03:33.099 --> 00:03:35.479
 We can dissect it into fragments,

00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:37.840
 but we still need to see the big picture.

00:03:38.739 --> 00:03:41.259
 So while we may focus on a handful of verses,

00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:43.859
 we need to see what's going on around these

00:03:43.859 --> 00:03:45.759
 to build context and meaning.

00:03:46.900 --> 00:03:49.299
 In Matthew 5, verses 13 to 16,

00:03:50.139 --> 00:03:51.680
 Jesus calls us to be different.

00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:54.000
 You are the salt of the earth,

00:03:54.539 --> 00:03:56.240
 but if the salt loses its saltiness,

00:03:56.620 --> 00:03:58.000
 how can it be made salty again?

00:03:58.799 --> 00:04:00.240
 It is no longer good for anything

00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:02.420
 except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

00:04:03.420 --> 00:04:04.800
 You are the light of the world.

00:04:05.340 --> 00:04:06.780
 A city on a hill cannot be hidden.

00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:08.680
 Neither do people light a lamp

00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:09.740
 and put it under a bowl.

00:04:10.620 --> 00:04:12.060
 Instead, they put it on its stand

00:04:12.060 --> 00:04:14.260
 and it gives light to everyone in the house.

00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:16.019
 In the same way,

00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:18.360
 let your light shine before all people

00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:20.379
 that they may see your good deeds

00:04:20.379 --> 00:04:22.360
 and praise your Father in heaven.

00:04:23.900 --> 00:04:26.360
 Jesus uses the metaphor of salt and light

00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:28.720
 to describe how we should live in this world.

00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:31.740
 This follows directly after Jesus

00:04:31.740 --> 00:04:33.200
 has rattled off the Beatitudes.

00:04:34.260 --> 00:04:35.040
 In other words,

00:04:35.740 --> 00:04:38.020
 if we live with the beautiful attitudes of Jesus,

00:04:38.540 --> 00:04:40.800
 we will be salt and light in the world.

00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:43.580
 And after the salt and light metaphor,

00:04:44.060 --> 00:04:46.860
 Jesus continues taking the Ten Commandments

00:04:46.860 --> 00:04:47.820
 to the next level

00:04:47.820 --> 00:04:50.080
 and concludes actually with a phrase

00:04:50.080 --> 00:04:51.780
 in verse 48 of chapter 5,

00:04:52.220 --> 00:04:55.220
 be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect.

00:04:55.220 --> 00:04:59.240
 Jesus is presenting to those

00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:01.120
 who are willing to participate in his kingdom

00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:03.840
 a very difficult task,

00:05:04.640 --> 00:05:07.060
 a standard in the way we relate to one another,

00:05:08.200 --> 00:05:09.980
 and it's not being a good person,

00:05:10.860 --> 00:05:11.740
 it's perfection.

00:05:11.740 --> 00:05:15.680
 So before we panic,

00:05:16.500 --> 00:05:17.680
 remember the Christian message

00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:19.300
 is not about work salvation,

00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:21.819
 about doing things to be saved.

00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:24.759
 The good news is stop trying

00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:25.819
 and start trusting.

00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:28.860
 Jesus did what we can't do.

00:05:29.699 --> 00:05:32.519
 He alone meets God's impossible standards.

00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:35.840
 Jesus who did not come to abolish the law,

00:05:36.220 --> 00:05:37.180
 but to fulfil it.

00:05:37.180 --> 00:05:41.720
 Then, once we're right with God,

00:05:42.220 --> 00:05:44.439
 we're then to be salt and light in the world,

00:05:44.900 --> 00:05:46.740
 with Jesus as our foundation.

00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:49.340
 Motivated by love for Jesus

00:05:49.340 --> 00:05:50.519
 and love for others,

00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:52.920
 what follows is good works.

00:05:53.340 --> 00:05:54.759
 And Jesus later goes on to say,

00:05:55.220 --> 00:05:57.519
 this is the fruit of what you believe.

00:05:59.139 --> 00:06:01.399
 So the significance of salt and light,

00:06:01.939 --> 00:06:02.620
 the imagery,

00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:03.620
 let's draw that out

00:06:03.620 --> 00:06:04.660
 and let's start with salt.

00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:06.899
 Salt is essential.

00:06:07.180 --> 00:06:09.280
 Our bodies require salt

00:06:09.280 --> 00:06:10.879
 as an element in our diet.

00:06:12.019 --> 00:06:13.319
 Salt was a vital necessity

00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:15.060
 for everyday life.

00:06:15.780 --> 00:06:16.780
 Taken in this way,

00:06:17.259 --> 00:06:18.840
 Jesus indicates his followers

00:06:18.840 --> 00:06:20.079
 are vitally important

00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:21.500
 to the welfare of this world

00:06:21.500 --> 00:06:23.980
 with their daily presence

00:06:23.980 --> 00:06:25.139
 and their message.

00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:27.939
 Salt preserves.

00:06:28.740 --> 00:06:30.819
 Before people had fridges and freezers,

00:06:31.139 --> 00:06:32.759
 food was salted to preserve it.

00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:35.319
 The salt stopped decay.

00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:37.719
 Jesus wants his followers

00:06:37.719 --> 00:06:38.759
 to work to preserve

00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:40.120
 all that is good in our world.

00:06:40.899 --> 00:06:42.959
 As the world turns even more rotten,

00:06:43.699 --> 00:06:45.480
 Christians are to have the effect

00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:47.759
 of delaying moral and spiritual decay.

00:06:49.339 --> 00:06:50.199
 Salt is valuable.

00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:52.939
 It was extremely expensive

00:06:52.939 --> 00:06:54.459
 and labour-intensive

00:06:54.459 --> 00:06:56.620
 to harvest the mass quantities of salt

00:06:56.620 --> 00:06:58.620
 necessary for food preservation

00:06:58.620 --> 00:06:59.879
 and seasoning.

00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:02.780
 Salt was used as currency

00:07:02.780 --> 00:07:03.500
 in Jesus' day

00:07:03.500 --> 00:07:04.300
 and for centuries.

00:07:06.060 --> 00:07:08.519
 What value can we place on our soul?

00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:10.959
 Jesus alone

00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:13.000
 has the words of eternal life.

00:07:14.540 --> 00:07:15.399
 Salt has value.

00:07:16.579 --> 00:07:17.319
 Salt is pure.

00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:19.680
 Many people in ancient times

00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:20.600
 thought salt was pure

00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:21.819
 just because of its colour.

00:07:22.019 --> 00:07:22.840
 It's pure white.

00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:26.000
 Jesus wants his followers

00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:27.639
 to have hearts that are pure.

00:07:28.679 --> 00:07:29.639
 There's high standards

00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:30.399
 in our thoughts,

00:07:30.619 --> 00:07:31.279
 our speech,

00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:32.159
 and our actions.

00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:35.219
 Salt is seasoning.

00:07:36.739 --> 00:07:38.739
 Salt enhances the flavour of food.

00:07:39.739 --> 00:07:41.059
 It makes it taste more interesting.

00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:43.959
 Try eating chips without salt

00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:45.159
 to get it.

00:07:46.299 --> 00:07:48.199
 Knowing Jesus gives life.

00:07:48.239 --> 00:07:49.919
 It's life to the full

00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:51.500
 and makes it meaningful.

00:07:52.699 --> 00:07:53.980
 Jesus wants his followers

00:07:53.980 --> 00:07:55.540
 to make life more pleasant

00:07:55.540 --> 00:07:56.199
 for others.

00:07:57.660 --> 00:07:58.420
 Salt protects.

00:07:59.420 --> 00:08:00.720
 Salt scattered on roads

00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:01.840
 melts ice

00:08:01.840 --> 00:08:03.300
 and makes conditions safe.

00:08:04.200 --> 00:08:05.360
 In biblical times,

00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:07.319
 salt was even put on manure heaps

00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:08.700
 to stop the spread of germs.

00:08:09.960 --> 00:08:10.960
 Jesus wants his followers

00:08:10.960 --> 00:08:12.600
 to spread the good news about him

00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:13.580
 to everyone they meet

00:08:13.580 --> 00:08:15.420
 and so offer the protection

00:08:15.420 --> 00:08:17.139
 of God's love to everyone.

00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:19.740
 Salt was actually used

00:08:19.740 --> 00:08:20.680
 in small quantities

00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:21.720
 as a fertiliser

00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:23.720
 when applied to certain types of soil.

00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:25.699
 Jesus' disciples

00:08:25.699 --> 00:08:26.620
 will enhance

00:08:26.620 --> 00:08:28.100
 the growth of God's work

00:08:28.100 --> 00:08:29.240
 in this world.

00:08:31.019 --> 00:08:32.360
 Jesus likens his followers

00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:33.000
 to salt.

00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:34.320
 Essential,

00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:35.539
 valuable,

00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:36.620
 pure,

00:08:37.419 --> 00:08:37.919
 preserving,

00:08:38.680 --> 00:08:39.180
 seasoning,

00:08:39.899 --> 00:08:40.340
 pleasant,

00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:41.480
 protecting,

00:08:42.860 --> 00:08:43.580
 bringing growth.

00:08:45.019 --> 00:08:46.360
 If our lives

00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:47.139
 are like salt,

00:08:47.580 --> 00:08:48.600
 Christians cannot help

00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:49.480
 but be an influence

00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:50.460
 for good in society

00:08:50.460 --> 00:08:52.600
 and history shows this.

00:08:53.259 --> 00:08:53.779
 Hospitals,

00:08:54.620 --> 00:08:55.120
 schools,

00:08:55.820 --> 00:08:56.860
 aged care facilities,

00:08:57.540 --> 00:08:58.500
 care of the homeless,

00:08:59.120 --> 00:08:59.759
 orphanages,

00:09:00.500 --> 00:09:01.620
 abolition of slavery,

00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:04.019
 worldwide literacy programs.

00:09:04.820 --> 00:09:05.800
 Christians have been

00:09:05.800 --> 00:09:06.480
 at the forefront

00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:07.620
 of these initiatives.

00:09:07.620 --> 00:09:10.460
 The second metaphor

00:09:10.460 --> 00:09:11.220
 Jesus uses

00:09:11.220 --> 00:09:11.899
 to describe

00:09:11.899 --> 00:09:13.220
 the Christian witness

00:09:13.220 --> 00:09:13.820
 in the world

00:09:13.820 --> 00:09:14.740
 is that of light.

00:09:16.259 --> 00:09:16.960
 Have you ever been

00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:17.799
 in a place

00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:19.159
 that is so dark

00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:20.100
 you actually can't even

00:09:20.100 --> 00:09:20.740
 see your hand

00:09:20.740 --> 00:09:21.679
 in front of your face?

00:09:22.500 --> 00:09:23.519
 When I was in year nine

00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:24.019
 we were taken

00:09:24.019 --> 00:09:25.060
 to Currie Currie

00:09:25.060 --> 00:09:26.299
 on a geography excursion

00:09:26.299 --> 00:09:27.779
 and I was one of a handful

00:09:27.779 --> 00:09:28.720
 picked to go down

00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:29.259
 a mine.

00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:30.560
 We were in a few

00:09:30.560 --> 00:09:31.299
 kilometres underground

00:09:31.299 --> 00:09:32.419
 and we had the

00:09:32.419 --> 00:09:33.379
 safety helmets

00:09:33.379 --> 00:09:34.620
 with the torches on top.

00:09:34.620 --> 00:09:36.320
 At one point

00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:36.940
 they asked us all

00:09:36.940 --> 00:09:38.080
 to switch the torches off

00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:39.419
 and it was eerie.

00:09:40.100 --> 00:09:40.700
 I'd never been

00:09:40.700 --> 00:09:42.279
 in something so pitch black.

00:09:42.860 --> 00:09:43.560
 We left them off

00:09:43.560 --> 00:09:44.000
 for a while

00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:45.100
 even as our eyes adjusted

00:09:45.100 --> 00:09:46.240
 we couldn't see anything

00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:47.980
 and then further down

00:09:47.980 --> 00:09:49.860
 in the mine shaft

00:09:49.860 --> 00:09:51.320
 some other miners

00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:51.799
 were coming

00:09:51.799 --> 00:09:53.100
 and just a glimpse

00:09:53.100 --> 00:09:54.220
 of their light

00:09:54.220 --> 00:09:55.039
 before it actually

00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:56.539
 the full blown light

00:09:56.539 --> 00:09:56.940
 appeared

00:09:56.940 --> 00:09:58.220
 was enough to start

00:09:58.220 --> 00:09:59.019
 to illuminate

00:09:59.019 --> 00:09:59.840
 the darkness.

00:10:01.940 --> 00:10:02.940
 If we're to be

00:10:02.940 --> 00:10:03.840
 light in the world

00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:04.740
 the implication

00:10:04.740 --> 00:10:06.139
 is that the world

00:10:06.139 --> 00:10:07.060
 is actually shrouded

00:10:07.060 --> 00:10:07.800
 in darkness

00:10:07.800 --> 00:10:09.620
 thick darkness

00:10:09.620 --> 00:10:11.800
 blind to Jesus' identity.

00:10:12.800 --> 00:10:13.639
 We are witnesses

00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:14.280
 for Jesus

00:10:14.280 --> 00:10:15.580
 we need to shine

00:10:15.580 --> 00:10:16.460
 God's light

00:10:16.460 --> 00:10:17.500
 so that those

00:10:17.500 --> 00:10:18.639
 stumbling through life

00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:20.000
 in spiritual darkness

00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:21.060
 can come into

00:10:21.060 --> 00:10:22.240
 the safety of the light.

00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:24.460
 Jesus talks about

00:10:24.460 --> 00:10:25.800
 two sources of light here

00:10:25.800 --> 00:10:26.800
 the light from

00:10:26.800 --> 00:10:27.620
 the city on a hill

00:10:27.620 --> 00:10:28.519
 and the light

00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:29.240
 from a lamp.

00:10:30.540 --> 00:10:31.440
 You are

00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:32.639
 the light of the world

00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:34.679
 a city on a hill

00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:35.939
 cannot be hidden

00:10:35.939 --> 00:10:37.480
 neither do people

00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:38.279
 light a lamp

00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:39.419
 and put it under a bowl

00:10:39.419 --> 00:10:40.840
 instead they put it

00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:41.659
 on its stand

00:10:41.659 --> 00:10:43.019
 and it gives light

00:10:43.019 --> 00:10:43.799
 to everyone

00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:44.639
 in the house.

00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:47.240
 We should be able

00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:48.360
 to picture these images

00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:49.980
 if you've done

00:10:49.980 --> 00:10:51.059
 some long driving

00:10:51.059 --> 00:10:52.240
 stints out in the country

00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:54.159
 it can be really dark

00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:55.519
 but before you get

00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:56.360
 to the next town

00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:57.399
 you see it coming

00:10:57.399 --> 00:10:58.159
 from a distance

00:10:58.159 --> 00:10:59.379
 because of the glow

00:10:59.379 --> 00:11:00.799
 reflecting onto the sky.

00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:03.099
 In ancient times

00:11:03.099 --> 00:11:04.039
 darkness and light

00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:05.299
 would have been absolutes

00:11:05.299 --> 00:11:06.919
 there was no electricity

00:11:06.919 --> 00:11:08.959
 but you could still

00:11:08.959 --> 00:11:09.599
 make out the glow

00:11:09.599 --> 00:11:10.079
 of a city

00:11:10.079 --> 00:11:10.979
 when navigating

00:11:10.979 --> 00:11:11.799
 the deserts.

00:11:13.859 --> 00:11:14.879
 Imagining a world

00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:15.659
 without light

00:11:15.659 --> 00:11:16.579
 we can understand

00:11:16.579 --> 00:11:17.339
 how darkness

00:11:17.339 --> 00:11:18.159
 can be a terror

00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:19.620
 and a symbol of evil.

00:11:20.899 --> 00:11:21.500
 Imagine walking

00:11:21.500 --> 00:11:22.620
 through a park at night

00:11:22.620 --> 00:11:23.740
 and I've actually done this

00:11:23.740 --> 00:11:24.679
 I've actually put the keys

00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:25.559
 between my fingers

00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:26.699
 feeling worried

00:11:26.699 --> 00:11:27.279
 for myself.

00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:29.279
 The same goes

00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:30.339
 for hiding a lamp

00:11:30.339 --> 00:11:31.120
 under a bush.

00:11:31.959 --> 00:11:33.059
 By modern standards

00:11:33.059 --> 00:11:34.600
 a lamp doesn't cast

00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:35.600
 a great amount of light

00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:37.079
 but if the alternative

00:11:37.079 --> 00:11:38.100
 is pitch darkness

00:11:38.100 --> 00:11:39.259
 to distinguish

00:11:39.259 --> 00:11:40.379
 or cut off the light

00:11:40.379 --> 00:11:41.439
 it seems ludicrous.

00:11:42.659 --> 00:11:43.139
 Darkness

00:11:43.139 --> 00:11:44.399
 things can be hidden

00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:45.519
 but in the light

00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:46.379
 things are revealed.

00:11:47.419 --> 00:11:47.939
 A light

00:11:47.939 --> 00:11:48.699
 is a guide.

00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:50.600
 Like in the tunnel

00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:51.419
 of the coal mine

00:11:51.419 --> 00:11:52.480
 we needed light.

00:11:53.439 --> 00:11:54.059
 Lights are used

00:11:54.059 --> 00:11:54.959
 to guide people

00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:55.980
 and indicate

00:11:55.980 --> 00:11:57.240
 the safest direction.

00:11:58.500 --> 00:11:59.080
 Jesus wants

00:11:59.080 --> 00:11:59.580
 his followers

00:11:59.580 --> 00:12:00.660
 to act as guides.

00:12:01.420 --> 00:12:01.840
 He wants them

00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:02.519
 to point others

00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:03.100
 to Jesus

00:12:03.100 --> 00:12:03.940
 the way

00:12:03.940 --> 00:12:04.620
 the truth

00:12:04.620 --> 00:12:05.379
 and the life

00:12:05.379 --> 00:12:06.540
 and show others

00:12:06.540 --> 00:12:07.220
 the best way

00:12:07.220 --> 00:12:07.740
 to live.

00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:09.420
 A light

00:12:09.420 --> 00:12:10.040
 is a warning.

00:12:11.060 --> 00:12:11.660
 Many lights

00:12:11.660 --> 00:12:12.440
 act as warnings.

00:12:13.259 --> 00:12:13.900
 Flashing lights

00:12:13.900 --> 00:12:14.620
 on ambulances

00:12:14.620 --> 00:12:15.580
 fire engines

00:12:15.580 --> 00:12:16.259
 the police

00:12:16.259 --> 00:12:17.100
 lighthouses.

00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:18.720
 Christians

00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:19.720
 need to warn

00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:21.060
 the world

00:12:21.060 --> 00:12:22.060
 the judgement

00:12:22.060 --> 00:12:22.740
 is coming

00:12:22.740 --> 00:12:24.320
 and without Jesus

00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:25.560
 there is no

00:12:25.560 --> 00:12:26.080
 prospect

00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:27.720
 of eternal life.

00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:31.040
 Light is effective

00:12:31.040 --> 00:12:32.440
 illuminating darkness.

00:12:33.340 --> 00:12:34.060
 Without light

00:12:34.060 --> 00:12:35.240
 there are many things

00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:35.740
 that we would not

00:12:35.740 --> 00:12:36.500
 be able to do.

00:12:37.260 --> 00:12:38.060
 Drive at night

00:12:38.060 --> 00:12:38.900
 read in bed

00:12:38.900 --> 00:12:40.240
 and there's all kinds

00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:40.980
 of accidents

00:12:40.980 --> 00:12:41.980
 and mischief

00:12:41.980 --> 00:12:43.520
 that take place

00:12:43.520 --> 00:12:44.100
 under the cloak

00:12:44.100 --> 00:12:44.820
 of darkness.

00:12:46.040 --> 00:12:46.660
 Crimes tend

00:12:46.660 --> 00:12:47.200
 to happen

00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:48.260
 at night.

00:12:49.580 --> 00:12:50.440
 Light increases

00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:51.080
 our enjoyment

00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:51.680
 of life

00:12:51.680 --> 00:12:53.100
 but more importantly

00:12:53.100 --> 00:12:54.440
 it chases away

00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:55.019
 the darkness.

00:12:56.460 --> 00:12:57.360
 Without Jesus

00:12:57.360 --> 00:12:58.060
 the light

00:12:58.060 --> 00:12:58.720
 of the world

00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:00.120
 we shipwreck

00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:00.860
 our lives.

00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:02.639
 Jesus wants

00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:03.139
 his followers

00:13:03.139 --> 00:13:03.940
 to chase away

00:13:03.940 --> 00:13:04.720
 sin and darkness

00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:05.680
 in their own lives

00:13:05.680 --> 00:13:06.820
 and around them.

00:13:08.259 --> 00:13:08.659
 Light

00:13:08.659 --> 00:13:09.460
 is essential.

00:13:10.580 --> 00:13:10.980
 Plants

00:13:10.980 --> 00:13:11.800
 need light

00:13:11.800 --> 00:13:12.560
 in order to grow.

00:13:13.180 --> 00:13:13.840
 People also

00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:14.580
 need sunlight

00:13:14.580 --> 00:13:15.180
 for health

00:13:15.180 --> 00:13:16.019
 and strength.

00:13:16.540 --> 00:13:16.960
 We need a good

00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:18.680
 dose of vitamin D.

00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:20.700
 They also need

00:13:20.700 --> 00:13:20.980
 to know

00:13:20.980 --> 00:13:21.660
 the light

00:13:21.660 --> 00:13:22.300
 of Christ

00:13:22.300 --> 00:13:22.680
 in order

00:13:22.680 --> 00:13:23.320
 to live life

00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:23.860
 to the full.

00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:25.680
 Jesus wants

00:13:25.680 --> 00:13:26.240
 his followers

00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:26.780
 to shed

00:13:26.780 --> 00:13:27.100
 the light

00:13:27.100 --> 00:13:27.740
 of God's love

00:13:27.740 --> 00:13:28.460
 into the lives

00:13:28.460 --> 00:13:28.900
 of those

00:13:28.900 --> 00:13:29.440
 they meet.

00:13:30.620 --> 00:13:31.220
 A light

00:13:31.220 --> 00:13:31.840
 should not

00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:32.340
 be hidden.

00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:33.840
 A light

00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:34.640
 that is hidden

00:13:34.640 --> 00:13:35.840
 is of no help

00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:36.220
 at all.

00:13:37.520 --> 00:13:38.140
 Imagine what

00:13:38.140 --> 00:13:38.500
 would happen

00:13:38.500 --> 00:13:38.879
 if a set

00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:39.600
 of traffic lights

00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:39.879
 were under

00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:40.320
 a blanket

00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:41.720
 or a lighthouse

00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:42.879
 on the clifftops

00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:44.000
 was extinguished.

00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:46.000
 Lights

00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:46.300
 are meant

00:13:46.300 --> 00:13:46.900
 to be shown

00:13:46.900 --> 00:13:47.780
 to good advantage.

00:13:47.779 --> 00:13:50.299
 There is no place

00:13:50.299 --> 00:13:51.579
 for a quiet

00:13:51.579 --> 00:13:52.339
 shy

00:13:52.339 --> 00:13:52.980
 hidden

00:13:52.980 --> 00:13:54.199
 personal faith.

00:13:55.480 --> 00:13:56.000
 Jesus wants

00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:56.699
 us to be open

00:13:56.699 --> 00:13:57.339
 about the fact

00:13:57.339 --> 00:13:57.879
 that we follow

00:13:57.879 --> 00:13:58.199
 him

00:13:58.199 --> 00:13:59.220
 otherwise

00:13:59.220 --> 00:14:00.019
 we are of no

00:14:00.019 --> 00:14:00.899
 use to others.

00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:02.839
 Be salt

00:14:02.839 --> 00:14:03.899
 and let your

00:14:03.899 --> 00:14:04.639
 light shine.

00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:06.740
 Jesus then

00:14:06.740 --> 00:14:07.299
 takes it to the

00:14:07.299 --> 00:14:07.759
 next level

00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:09.220
 and we glimpse

00:14:09.220 --> 00:14:10.299
 how upside down

00:14:10.299 --> 00:14:10.839
 God's kingdom

00:14:10.839 --> 00:14:11.620
 really is

00:14:11.620 --> 00:14:12.919
 while further

00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:13.399
 drawing out

00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:14.059
 the implications

00:14:14.059 --> 00:14:14.860
 of what salt

00:14:14.860 --> 00:14:15.220
 and light

00:14:15.220 --> 00:14:16.059
 really look like.

00:14:16.059 --> 00:14:17.759
 Referring to

00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:18.299
 the Mosaic

00:14:18.299 --> 00:14:18.739
 law

00:14:18.739 --> 00:14:19.679
 Jesus says

00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:20.759
 you've heard

00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:21.099
 it said

00:14:21.099 --> 00:14:21.679
 long ago

00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:22.339
 do you remember

00:14:22.339 --> 00:14:22.659
 this?

00:14:22.979 --> 00:14:23.379
 You've heard

00:14:23.379 --> 00:14:23.599
 it said

00:14:23.599 --> 00:14:24.079
 long ago

00:14:24.079 --> 00:14:24.959
 and then he

00:14:24.959 --> 00:14:25.379
 lists off

00:14:25.379 --> 00:14:25.859
 a handful

00:14:25.859 --> 00:14:26.599
 of commandments

00:14:26.599 --> 00:14:27.799
 do not

00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:28.139
 murder

00:14:28.139 --> 00:14:29.579
 most people

00:14:29.579 --> 00:14:30.179
 can say

00:14:30.179 --> 00:14:30.959
 great

00:14:30.959 --> 00:14:32.019
 that's not

00:14:32.019 --> 00:14:32.399
 me

00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:33.319
 I haven't

00:14:33.319 --> 00:14:33.699
 murdered

00:14:33.699 --> 00:14:34.899
 Jesus

00:14:34.899 --> 00:14:35.679
 then declares

00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:36.500
 that anyone

00:14:36.500 --> 00:14:37.319
 who harbours

00:14:37.319 --> 00:14:38.000
 anger in their

00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:38.359
 heart

00:14:38.359 --> 00:14:39.099
 or even

00:14:39.099 --> 00:14:39.739
 calls someone

00:14:39.739 --> 00:14:40.399
 a fool

00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:41.579
 receives the

00:14:41.579 --> 00:14:42.459
 same judgment

00:14:42.459 --> 00:14:43.919
 as a murderer

00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:45.979
 okay that's

00:14:45.979 --> 00:14:46.339
 pretty much

00:14:46.339 --> 00:14:46.719
 everyone

00:14:46.719 --> 00:14:48.500
 and it does

00:14:48.500 --> 00:14:48.899
 seem a bit

00:14:48.899 --> 00:14:49.360
 extreme

00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:51.419
 do not

00:14:51.419 --> 00:14:52.219
 commit adultery

00:14:52.219 --> 00:14:52.899
 you've heard

00:14:52.899 --> 00:14:53.719
 it once said

00:14:53.719 --> 00:14:53.979
 do not

00:14:53.979 --> 00:14:54.319
 commit adultery

00:14:54.319 --> 00:14:54.639
 everyone goes

00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:55.059
 yeah we've

00:14:55.059 --> 00:14:55.519
 heard that

00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:58.159
 well we may

00:14:58.159 --> 00:14:58.559
 be hearing

00:14:58.559 --> 00:14:59.019
 more of this

00:14:59.019 --> 00:15:00.259
 in society

00:15:00.259 --> 00:15:00.860
 it is still

00:15:00.860 --> 00:15:01.479
 frowned upon

00:15:01.479 --> 00:15:02.539
 by most people

00:15:02.539 --> 00:15:03.519
 no matter what

00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:03.939
 their belief

00:15:03.939 --> 00:15:04.339
 system

00:15:04.339 --> 00:15:06.659
 and so

00:15:06.659 --> 00:15:07.959
 you hear this

00:15:07.959 --> 00:15:08.559
 and if you've

00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:09.419
 never done this

00:15:09.419 --> 00:15:10.679
 you go

00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:11.099
 well good

00:15:11.100 --> 00:15:12.320
 I'm a good

00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:12.779
 person

00:15:12.779 --> 00:15:13.700
 tick

00:15:13.700 --> 00:15:14.240
 I haven't

00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:14.740
 done that

00:15:14.740 --> 00:15:16.060
 but Jesus

00:15:16.060 --> 00:15:16.639
 then goes

00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:17.060
 to the next

00:15:17.060 --> 00:15:17.399
 level

00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:18.540
 he says

00:15:18.540 --> 00:15:19.200
 if you've

00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:19.560
 looked at

00:15:19.560 --> 00:15:19.860
 someone

00:15:19.860 --> 00:15:20.480
 lustfully

00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:21.740
 you've

00:15:21.740 --> 00:15:22.040
 committed

00:15:22.040 --> 00:15:22.540
 adultery

00:15:22.540 --> 00:15:22.779
 in your

00:15:22.779 --> 00:15:23.180
 heart

00:15:23.180 --> 00:15:24.980
 now that

00:15:24.980 --> 00:15:25.639
 seems pretty

00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:26.220
 extreme

00:15:26.220 --> 00:15:28.000
 and I'm

00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:28.399
 pretty sure

00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:28.800
 that covers

00:15:28.800 --> 00:15:29.560
 most everyone

00:15:29.560 --> 00:15:30.920
 so they're

00:15:30.920 --> 00:15:31.220
 starting to

00:15:31.220 --> 00:15:31.560
 think well

00:15:31.560 --> 00:15:32.060
 murder

00:15:32.060 --> 00:15:33.120
 anger

00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:34.399
 adultery

00:15:34.399 --> 00:15:35.120
 lust

00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:35.840
 oh hang

00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:36.220
 on Jesus

00:15:36.220 --> 00:15:36.879
 this is

00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:37.480
 an impossible

00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:38.060
 standard

00:15:38.060 --> 00:15:39.580
 let's go

00:15:39.580 --> 00:15:40.160
 up a level

00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:41.360
 love your

00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:41.839
 enemies

00:15:41.839 --> 00:15:43.379
 say what

00:15:43.379 --> 00:15:43.740
 Jesus

00:15:43.740 --> 00:15:44.500
 now you've

00:15:44.500 --> 00:15:44.860
 gone too

00:15:44.860 --> 00:15:45.179
 far

00:15:45.179 --> 00:15:46.360
 Israel

00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:46.899
 was under

00:15:46.899 --> 00:15:47.139
 Roman

00:15:47.139 --> 00:15:47.719
 occupation

00:15:47.719 --> 00:15:48.699
 this was

00:15:48.699 --> 00:15:49.039
 God's

00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:49.339
 promised

00:15:49.339 --> 00:15:49.899
 land

00:15:49.899 --> 00:15:50.779
 and you

00:15:50.779 --> 00:15:51.000
 want us

00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:51.219
 to go

00:15:51.219 --> 00:15:51.679
 to extra

00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:52.039
 mile

00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:52.879
 you want

00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:53.279
 us to

00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:53.799
 turn the

00:15:53.799 --> 00:15:53.959
 other

00:15:53.959 --> 00:15:54.339
 cheek

00:15:54.339 --> 00:15:55.259
 you want

00:15:55.259 --> 00:15:55.699
 them to

00:15:55.699 --> 00:15:56.600
 us to

00:15:56.600 --> 00:15:56.939
 give our

00:15:56.939 --> 00:15:57.419
 tunic

00:15:57.419 --> 00:16:00.240
 you want

00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:00.480
 us to

00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:00.699
 lend

00:16:00.699 --> 00:16:01.079
 willingly

00:16:01.079 --> 00:16:01.799
 this is

00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:02.199
 outrageous

00:16:02.199 --> 00:16:02.679
 Jesus

00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:04.539
 and when

00:16:04.539 --> 00:16:04.839
 you give

00:16:04.839 --> 00:16:05.139
 to the

00:16:05.139 --> 00:16:05.439
 needy

00:16:05.439 --> 00:16:05.839
 he goes

00:16:05.839 --> 00:16:06.120
 on

00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:07.019
 don't

00:16:07.019 --> 00:16:07.379
 make a

00:16:07.379 --> 00:16:07.759
 show of

00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:07.939
 it

00:16:07.939 --> 00:16:08.879
 do it

00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:09.360
 humbly

00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:10.340
 in secret

00:16:10.340 --> 00:16:11.740
 no giant

00:16:11.740 --> 00:16:12.500
 checks

00:16:12.500 --> 00:16:13.639
 and big

00:16:13.639 --> 00:16:14.580
 TV coverage

00:16:14.580 --> 00:16:16.120
 do it

00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:16.779
 in humility

00:16:16.779 --> 00:16:17.399
 and don't

00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:17.800
 boast

00:16:17.800 --> 00:16:20.000
 you need

00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:20.560
 to forgive

00:16:20.560 --> 00:16:21.419
 as your

00:16:21.419 --> 00:16:21.960
 heavenly father

00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:22.480
 has forgiven

00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:22.860
 you

00:16:22.860 --> 00:16:23.899
 that's

00:16:23.899 --> 00:16:24.440
 unmerited

00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:25.200
 it's

00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:25.779
 unconditional

00:16:25.779 --> 00:16:26.220
 loving

00:16:26.220 --> 00:16:26.740
 others

00:16:26.740 --> 00:16:28.440
 but hang

00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:28.620
 on

00:16:28.620 --> 00:16:29.240
 God

00:18:31.180 --> 00:18:31.960
 Christianity

00:18:31.960 --> 00:18:32.740
 doesn't

00:18:32.740 --> 00:18:33.019
 win a

00:18:33.019 --> 00:18:33.460
 popularity

00:18:33.460 --> 00:18:34.100
 contest

00:18:34.100 --> 00:18:35.620
 I

00:18:35.620 --> 00:18:35.779
 could

00:18:35.779 --> 00:18:35.980
 think

00:18:35.980 --> 00:18:36.120
 of

00:18:36.120 --> 00:18:36.420
 times

00:18:36.420 --> 00:18:36.559
 when

00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:36.720
 I've

00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:36.819
 been

00:18:36.819 --> 00:18:36.960
 at

00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:37.319
 parties

00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:37.620
 and

00:18:37.620 --> 00:18:37.779
 I've

00:18:37.779 --> 00:18:37.920
 been

00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:38.319
 talking

00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:38.660
 with

00:18:38.660 --> 00:18:38.940
 someone

00:18:38.940 --> 00:18:39.299
 and

00:18:39.299 --> 00:18:39.840
 eventually

00:18:39.840 --> 00:18:40.200
 they say

00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:41.400
 oh so what do you do for a living

00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:42.840
 I say I'm a minister

00:18:42.840 --> 00:18:45.759
 and they go oh what political party are you with

00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:48.019
 and then when I say I'm a Christian

00:18:48.019 --> 00:18:50.559
 there's this awkward pause

00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:53.660
 sometimes a bit of an uncomfortable silence

00:18:53.660 --> 00:18:54.720
 some discomfort

00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:57.200
 and then it's almost like you can see in their mind

00:18:57.200 --> 00:18:58.539
 they're going through

00:18:58.539 --> 00:19:00.000
 what have I just said

00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:01.680
 oh I've just been swearing

00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:02.539
 or blaspheming

00:19:02.539 --> 00:19:04.299
 and a lot of people start to apologise

00:19:04.299 --> 00:19:04.940
 for me

00:19:04.940 --> 00:19:05.539
 to me

00:19:05.539 --> 00:19:05.720
 and

00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:07.539
 some even sort of politely go

00:19:07.539 --> 00:19:07.920
 oh

00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:08.980
 the others

00:19:08.980 --> 00:19:10.279
 just got to go and make this

00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:11.620
 yeah they excuse themselves

00:19:11.620 --> 00:19:13.819
 Jesus

00:19:13.819 --> 00:19:15.420
 and by association

00:19:15.420 --> 00:19:16.339
 Christianity

00:19:16.339 --> 00:19:19.220
 spotlight things

00:19:19.220 --> 00:19:21.299
 and actually this is Jesus' verdict

00:19:21.299 --> 00:19:24.160
 light has come into the world

00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:26.640
 but people love darkness instead of light

00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:28.320
 because their deeds are evil

00:19:28.320 --> 00:19:31.220
 everyone who does evil hates the light

00:19:31.220 --> 00:19:32.800
 and will not come into the light

00:19:32.800 --> 00:19:34.759
 for fear that their deeds will be exposed

00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:38.120
 whoever lives by the truth comes into the light

00:19:38.120 --> 00:19:40.500
 so that it may be seen plainly

00:19:40.500 --> 00:19:42.120
 that what they have done

00:19:42.120 --> 00:19:43.779
 has been done through God

00:19:43.779 --> 00:19:47.860
 Jesus warns

00:19:47.860 --> 00:19:49.740
 the world

00:19:49.740 --> 00:19:52.400
 does not like the light

00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:54.500
 it likes the darkness

00:19:54.500 --> 00:19:56.420
 but don't sell out

00:19:56.420 --> 00:19:58.460
 don't lose your saltiness

00:19:58.460 --> 00:20:00.200
 and don't hide your light

00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:03.180
 can salt lose its saltiness?

00:20:04.120 --> 00:20:06.220
 well because salt by its very nature

00:20:06.220 --> 00:20:08.360
 cannot be anything other than salt

00:20:08.360 --> 00:20:10.780
 it cannot lose its property of salt

00:20:10.780 --> 00:20:13.240
 but it can be sufficiently ruined

00:20:13.240 --> 00:20:14.759
 rendering it useless

00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:17.100
 for example if you mix it with sand

00:20:17.100 --> 00:20:19.360
 you won't discern the salt

00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:21.679
 and so it loses its saltiness

00:20:21.679 --> 00:20:23.219
 likewise

00:20:23.219 --> 00:20:25.319
 when Christians conform

00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:26.139
 to the immoral

00:20:26.139 --> 00:20:27.519
 materialistic patterns

00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:28.240
 of this world

00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:30.599
 our witness can be rendered ineffective

00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:32.939
 we can lose our saltiness

00:20:32.939 --> 00:20:35.759
 the purpose of salt

00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:36.699
 is to fight

00:20:36.699 --> 00:20:38.000
 deterioration

00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:40.559
 the worse the world becomes

00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:41.759
 the more corrupt

00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:42.859
 the more it stands

00:20:42.859 --> 00:20:44.639
 in need of Jesus' followers

00:20:44.639 --> 00:20:46.899
 when we fail

00:20:46.900 --> 00:20:49.200
 and it happens to all of us

00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:51.340
 remember there is grace

00:20:51.340 --> 00:20:53.900
 we all need God's grace

00:20:53.900 --> 00:20:56.300
 the Sermon on the Mount

00:20:56.300 --> 00:20:57.080
 is challenging

00:20:57.080 --> 00:20:59.500
 it's an impossible standard

00:20:59.500 --> 00:21:01.280
 that's why we desperately

00:21:01.280 --> 00:21:02.120
 need Jesus

00:21:02.120 --> 00:21:03.800
 we all sin

00:21:03.800 --> 00:21:05.340
 Christians sin

00:21:05.340 --> 00:21:06.800
 ministers sin

00:21:06.800 --> 00:21:08.400
 I know colleagues

00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:09.220
 who are now no longer

00:21:09.220 --> 00:21:10.120
 in public ministry

00:21:10.120 --> 00:21:11.019
 due to their sin

00:21:11.019 --> 00:21:13.660
 Romans 7 reminds us

00:21:13.660 --> 00:21:14.660
 we don't always do

00:21:14.660 --> 00:21:15.880
 the good we want to do

00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:18.620
 so until the new creation

00:21:18.620 --> 00:21:19.320
 we battle

00:21:19.320 --> 00:21:21.420
 but in the strength

00:21:21.420 --> 00:21:22.320
 of the Holy Spirit

00:21:22.320 --> 00:21:23.560
 and by God's grace

00:21:23.560 --> 00:21:25.220
 we can be conquerors

00:21:25.220 --> 00:21:28.420
 don't lose your saltiness

00:21:28.420 --> 00:21:30.180
 don't hide your light

00:21:30.180 --> 00:21:33.640
 the answer to living in this world

00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:35.060
 is not imitation

00:21:35.060 --> 00:21:38.200
 be like everybody else

00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:39.560
 fit in

00:21:39.560 --> 00:21:40.740
 do what everyone else is doing

00:21:40.740 --> 00:21:42.000
 that's not the answer

00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:44.420
 and the answer is not isolation

00:21:44.420 --> 00:21:46.200
 don't be like anybody

00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:47.720
 don't have any association

00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:48.539
 with the world

00:21:48.539 --> 00:21:49.980
 in fact remove yourself

00:21:49.980 --> 00:21:50.960
 become a recluse

00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:52.000
 and maybe live in the hills

00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:53.640
 the answer is not

00:21:53.640 --> 00:21:54.300
 imitation

00:21:54.300 --> 00:21:55.400
 the answer is not

00:21:55.400 --> 00:21:56.220
 isolation

00:21:56.220 --> 00:21:57.759
 the answer is

00:21:57.759 --> 00:21:58.700
 insulation

00:21:58.700 --> 00:22:00.440
 and D.L. Moody

00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:01.759
 expresses it this way

00:22:01.759 --> 00:22:03.860
 Christians should live

00:22:03.860 --> 00:22:04.480
 in the world

00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:05.840
 but not be filled

00:22:05.840 --> 00:22:06.279
 with it

00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:08.660
 a ship in the water

00:22:08.660 --> 00:22:11.019
 insulated from its surrounds

00:22:11.019 --> 00:22:14.160
 like a ship

00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:15.039
 lives in the water

00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:18.000
 insulated from its surrounds

00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:19.599
 but if water gets into the ship

00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:20.819
 she goes to the bottom

00:22:20.819 --> 00:22:23.400
 so Christians may live in the world

00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:25.579
 but if the world gets into them

00:22:25.579 --> 00:22:27.119
 they sink

00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:30.259
 Jesus concludes

00:22:30.259 --> 00:22:32.099
 in the same way

00:22:32.099 --> 00:22:33.879
 let your light shine before others

00:22:33.879 --> 00:22:36.220
 so that they may see your good works

00:22:36.220 --> 00:22:38.379
 and give glory to your Father

00:22:38.379 --> 00:22:39.480
 who is in heaven

00:22:39.480 --> 00:22:42.259
 believe it or not

00:22:42.259 --> 00:22:43.319
 the composer

00:22:43.319 --> 00:22:45.079
 Johann Sebastian Bach

00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:46.019
 was obscure

00:22:46.019 --> 00:22:47.299
 for a century

00:22:47.299 --> 00:22:48.279
 after his death

00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:50.120
 until he was rediscovered

00:22:50.120 --> 00:22:51.640
 by Felix Mendelssohn

00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:53.380
 as a result

00:22:53.380 --> 00:22:55.120
 many of his compositions

00:22:55.120 --> 00:22:55.920
 were lost

00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:57.759
 no one knows how many

00:22:57.759 --> 00:22:59.259
 but of those

00:22:59.259 --> 00:23:00.160
 that do survive

00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:02.019
 on each manuscript

00:23:02.019 --> 00:23:04.519
 the interesting insertion

00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:06.420
 in Bach's own hand

00:23:06.420 --> 00:23:06.980
 of the letters

00:23:06.980 --> 00:23:08.039
 J.J.

00:23:08.039 --> 00:23:09.639
 at the beginning of each

00:23:09.639 --> 00:23:11.440
 and S.D.G.

00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:12.399
 at the end

00:23:12.399 --> 00:23:14.440
 they are abbreviations

00:23:14.440 --> 00:23:15.240
 for the Latin

00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:17.079
 Jesu

00:23:17.079 --> 00:23:18.559
 Juva

00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:20.519
 Jesus

00:23:20.519 --> 00:23:21.819
 help me

00:23:21.819 --> 00:23:23.920
 and

00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:24.659
 Soli

00:23:24.659 --> 00:23:25.599
 Deo

00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:26.139
 Gloria

00:23:26.139 --> 00:23:27.399
 glory

00:23:27.399 --> 00:23:28.279
 to God

00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:28.819
 alone

00:23:28.819 --> 00:23:31.200
 Bach recognised

00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:31.859
 that his ability

00:23:31.859 --> 00:23:32.500
 to compose

00:23:32.500 --> 00:23:33.519
 was not natural

00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:34.339
 or normal

00:23:34.339 --> 00:23:36.079
 and was in fact

00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:37.119
 a gift from God

00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:39.039
 as a result

00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:40.400
 his desire

00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:41.200
 was not to make

00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:42.200
 a name for himself

00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:43.539
 but rather use

00:23:43.539 --> 00:23:44.099
 his gifts

00:23:44.099 --> 00:23:45.220
 to honour God

00:23:45.220 --> 00:23:46.660
 and give God

00:23:46.660 --> 00:23:47.359
 the glory

00:23:47.359 --> 00:23:49.579
 there needs to be

00:23:49.579 --> 00:23:50.240
 something different

00:23:50.240 --> 00:23:50.900
 about us

00:23:50.900 --> 00:23:52.200
 we are under the

00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:52.660
 microscope

00:23:52.660 --> 00:23:54.220
 we need to be

00:23:54.220 --> 00:23:54.960
 like Jesus

00:23:54.960 --> 00:23:56.660
 Jesus wants us

00:23:56.660 --> 00:23:57.200
 to be open

00:23:57.200 --> 00:23:57.879
 about the fact

00:23:57.879 --> 00:23:58.720
 that we follow him

00:23:58.720 --> 00:23:59.599
 otherwise

00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:00.480
 we are of no use

00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:00.819
 to him

00:24:00.819 --> 00:24:01.480
 at all

00:24:01.480 --> 00:24:04.440
 not only no use

00:24:04.440 --> 00:24:04.819
 to him

00:24:04.819 --> 00:24:05.360
 but no use

00:24:05.360 --> 00:24:05.860
 to others

00:24:05.860 --> 00:24:07.779
 we need to be

00:24:07.779 --> 00:24:08.480
 salt and light

00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:08.860
 in the world

00:24:08.860 --> 00:24:09.279
 as followers

00:24:09.279 --> 00:24:10.019
 of Jesus
