14 Ye are the light of the world A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.
15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
COMMENTARY: Ye are the light of the world describes the essential mission of the Christian to the world. He is the condition (salt) to meet the world's needs and he has a mission (light) to the world. His light is to clearly shine forth into the darkness of human depravity. He is to set his light upon a candlestick, not hide it under a bushel, that is, a basket. darkness is the absence of light; and darkness alone cannot dispel the light, but the smallest light can dispel the greatest darkness.
