To be a change agent means that what you do changes people.
You're making a difference and not just being different.
I think Jesus calls us to be change agents in the world because He's changed us.
Taking something from one direction and helping it to go another.
What it means to be the salt and light of the world is to be the seasoning and example.
Salt is a preservant.
Salt is a season.
When you put salt on your food, it tastes better.
A light illuminates things.
Eyes would be drawn to that.
You would wonder what it is.
It repels and it pushes away darkness.
If Jesus is in a situation, things are going to come to light.
A light to the world is someone who's bringing Jesus with them.
This is Brighton and he's going to change the world.
He's one of those guys when he comes into the room, people are attracted to him because
he is a light.
This is Courtney.
Courtney loves Jesus with all of her heart.
That's what she's about.
She not only knows who he is, but she is aware of the work that he is doing in her life.
This is Jeremy.
He's a Christ follower.
Jeremy is a 12-year-old kid.
He's an introvert by nature, but just like as in salt and light it changes things, Christ
has really changed Jeremy.
Brighton is a change agent and I know that he's having a big impact on his school in
the way that he treats people and the way that he loves people.
Jesus came into Courtney's life and changed her, transformed her life.
It wasn't about what she wanted to do, but it was about what he is doing in her.
That's the reason that she took this assignment as a college house leader and her role in
college housing.
One of the specific things is to be a light in the community that they're living in.
Jeremy attends Roots, which is our junior high youth ministry here at Life Center.
He takes fine-tell bring to heart, and so he'll bring new kids to the life group, and
not just to a service here, but he'll bring them straight into where we are.
We are hardcore learning and following Jesus.
He'll bring them straight in and say, hey, this is for you.
This is not just for us.
I mean, he really takes to heart that it doesn't matter.
We can all learn and follow Jesus together.
She's being this change agent, this salt and light, because of what Jesus has done in her
life.
Jesus is a change agent because he allowed God to change him first.
We're to live free, knowing that right as we are, just as we are, we can be the light
that Christ calls us to be.
We as Christians, we aren't just in the background.
We permeate, and we saturate, and we change the makeup and the fabric of our society.
So being that change agent means that you're willing to allow Jesus to work in you and
live through you in every situation that you enter.
