First Mennonite Church

Light isn't there to demand attention. It's there to help others see. So when Jesus says you are the salt of the earth and you are the light of the world, he's making our calling, not to control, but to witness. We're not asked to build the highest towers or to draw the hardest lines. We're asked to live in such a way that God's goodness becomes visible. A city on a hill cannot be hidden not because it's loud or it's powerful, but because it's faithful. Our light shines when we choose to when we choose love over fear, truth over distortion, hospitality over exclusion.
