In Lessons #29 and #30, we looked at the characteristics of Kingdom citizens as presented in the Beatitude virtues. This lesson is about the function of Kingdom citizens! After we have entered onto "The Highway to Happiness," we have a responsibility to the insipid, dark world around us. What is that responsibility as followers of Christ? We are to "Shake and Shine"! We are called by Him to be the salt and light of the world! We are to be salt for a corrupt world and light for a confused world. To put our Christian responsibility in two words, we are to INFLUENCE and ILLUMINATE. Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA certainly was "the salt and light" of this world! A remarkable young man, now with his Lord.
Lord, shake on me Thy savory salt, 'til I am ready to burst!
Fill me so full with righteousness that others for Thee will thirst.
Shine on me Thy radiant light so I almost seem to glow;
Help me, Lord, guide others to Thee, so Thy Truth they also might know.
O Lord, make me salty! O Lord, make me shine!
Use me, dear Saviour, for Thy glory divine.
O Lord, make me salty! O Lord, make me bright!
May I create thirst, and guide men to Thy Light!
