“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it

be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be

thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A city

on a hill cannot be hidden.”—Matthew 5:13-14, TNIV

“Have the same attitude of mind Christ Jesus had: Who, being

in very nature God, did not consider equality with God

something to be used his own advantage; rather, he made

himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being

made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a

human being, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to

death—even death on a cross!”—Philippians 2:5b-8, TNIV

“Jesus said, ‘Everyone who drinks this

water will get thirsty again and again.

Anyone who drinks the water I give will

never thirst—not ever. The water I give

will be an artesian spring within, gushing

fountains of endless life.’

“The woman said, ‘Sir, give me this water so I won’t ever get thirsty, won’t ever have to come back to this well again!’”

—John 4:13-15, MSG
