Jesus continues the Sermon on the Mount saying that we are salt and light, and that our good works bring glory to God. Isaiah also tells us that we must do good rather than evil so that our light shines like the dawn. The Psalm tells us that the light of those who are upright shines in the darkness. And Paul reminds us that our faith relies not on human wisdom but on the power of God. If we are called to do good and be light, why is there so much darkness in the world?
