Jesus tells each of us that we are to be His witnesses until He comes again. All of us realize that it is a very rough time for many of our family members and friends. The diseases, long term quarantines, and even deaths are affecting many of our Knox families. Therefore, I want to share some scriptural reminders from Jesus that are very appropriate. Take time to read through Matthew 5:13-20 from the Sermon on the Mount.

1. Vs. 13 – Jesus tells us we are the salt of the earth.
We must offer the flavor of Jesus to an often broken and lost group of people.

2. Vs. 14 – Jesus tells us we are the light of the world.
We bring the light of Jesus’ teachings to those living in darkness and despair.

3. Vs. 15 – Jesus wants our light to shine so others see our good works
and may one day glorify our Father in heaven.

4. Vs. 19 – Keep His commandments and teach them to others.

Make these teachings relevant to the lives our neighbors, so they can also serve Jesus the way we are attempting to do on a regular basis. Then one day we will be called “great in the kingdom of heaven.”
These are a list of things we can give and share with others not only on Christmas, but anytime throughout the year.
