“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp
and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way,
let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to
your Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16
No Emmanuel Archipelago

“The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and on those parts of the body that we think less honorable we bestow the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it, that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.”
1 Corinthians 12:21-26

“But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to
the humble.” Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee
from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you
sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Be wretched and mourn and
weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble
yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.” James 4:6-10

Whoever gives thought to the word will discover good, and blessed is he who trusts
in the Lord. The wise of heart is called discerning, and sweetness of speech increases persuasiveness. Good sense is a fountain of life to him who has it, but the instruction
of fools is folly. The heart of the wise makes his speech judicious and adds
persuasiveness to his lips. Gracious words are like a honeycomb,
sweetness to the soul and health to the body. Proverbs 16:20-24
Salvation for the Snakebitten

“If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things? No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.” John 3:12-15
Don’t Give Up on History

“Behold my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights; I have put my Spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the nations. He will not cry aloud or lift up his voice, or make it heard in the street; a bruised reed he will not break, and a faintly burning wick he will not quench; he will faithfully bring forth justice. He will not grow faint or be discouraged till he has established justice in the earth; and the coastlands wait for his law.”
Isaiah 42:1-4
Reason to Cheer

Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? Behold, the hour is coming, indeed
it has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and will leave
me alone. Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me. I have said these things
to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” John 16:31-33
