Matthew 5:14 You are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. I. How SHINE. Because Christ has put light into His people, he does not intend it to be hid. II. WHY SHINE. Not to be seen of men. The Christian must show that he is earnest about religion. Habitual holiness is required. There must be a proper control of the temper. He must shine: — 1. As a member of society he must be blameless. 2. As a subject he must be orderly. 3. As a member of the Church of Christ he must show good will. 4. As a neighbour he must be accommodating. 5. As a father he will have proper regard for the spiritual good of his children. 6. As a son he will show the excellence of his principles. 7. As a master his Christian character must shine. 8. As a servant he will be obedient. 9. He must keep within the limits of his proper place. (E. Cooper.) Parallel Verses KJV: Ye are the light of the world.
