Lead And FollowSample

My choices are an example for others. Jesus told us in the Bible to be salt and light for Him, but what does that mean? Think about what salt does. A lot of people put it on food to keep it fresh for a long time and to make it taste good. You are salt for Jesus when the example you set, the choices you make, and the words you use taste good to people and show them God is good. When you don’t live God’s way, you aren’t salt. Your example won’t taste good to people, and they won’t learn God is good from it. Light does something good, too. When it’s dark, a light helps us see what’s around us and where we’re going. When you are a light for Jesus, the example you set, the choices you make, and the words you use are a light that helps people see what God’s like. Ask God to help you set an example that shines brightly so others can see God’s way and learn to follow Jesus! Talk It Over: Talk about something you did that was like salt or light. Talk about something you did that wasn’t like salt or light. What do you think you can do to get better at being salt and light for Jesus?
