Matthew 5:13-16
13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Reflection
The church is called to be salt and light in this world. But this seems to be a contrasting statement with what Jesus instructs us to do in the world when giving. What do you think is the balance between letting your light shine before all men and doing good deeds or anonymously? What is one step you could take this week to do an anonymous act of kindness?
