"Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you."

"You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored? It is not longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled under foot."

"You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house…"

Matthew 5:11-16

Read the Bible. Don’t worry about what others think. Be their servant and wait on them. At some point they will ask you to read the Bible to them, and at some point your good works will lead someone to Christ.

If you want to lead the people around you to Jesus Christ, radiate His love by doing practical deeds for God’s glory alone.

A Christian’s life is a window

through which others can see Jesus.
