Matthew 5:14–16: Light Meant to Be Seen
Jesus tells his disciples what they already are, light that cannot be hidden, and he names the purpose of that visibility: good works seen by others that lead them to glorify the Father. The passage settles the why of visible obedience, not the technique.
Salt and light: Your identity as Christ's witness
Jesus names us already as salt and light, community members whose ordinary lives point to God's glory.
