Read. Matthew 5:14-16
14 You are the light of the world. A city on top of a hill can’t be hidden.15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket.

Reflect. John Winthrop left England in 1630 and would later become the governor fo the Massachusetts Bay Colony. He famously stated: “We shall be as a city upon a hill.” Future leaders in America have called upon this language as an ideal for the United States.
