G1 Dan mentioned some scientific impossibilities (attaining absolute zero, travelling faster than the speed of light etc). Can you think of any other impossibilities?
G2 5:13 | If salt cannot lose its flavour (because sodium chloride is a stable compound), what does Jesus means when he says that we can lose our saltiness?
G3 5:13 | What does Jesus means when he says “You are the salt of the earth”?
G4 5:14 | What about “You are the light of the world?”
G5 5:15 | What would motivate someone to hide their lamp under a basket? What is the spiritual application of this?
G6 5:16 | What is the connection between shining the light and doing good works and glorifying God?
G7 5:17-18 | What are “the law and the prophets”? In what way did Jesus fulfil (rather than abolish) the law and the prophets?

S1 If we do not make the invisible God visible to others, how else can they see him? Do you feel this responsibility? Why or why not? With the Holy Spirit, decide on one thing you can do this week to let your light shine.
