Matthew Chp. 4 Vs. 12
1005. What happened to John the Baptist? __________________________________
______________________________________________________________________
Why was he put in jail? Read Matthew 14:1-12
1006. Vs. 18 Who does Jesus call to follow him and be his disciples? ______________ and ________________________________. What kind of work do these men do? _________________________________________________________________
Jesus was asking them to leave their work and to give their time to follow him and learn what he would teach them. This meant that the men would not have their own money to take care of their families. It meant that they would go wherever Jesus went and they would listen and learn.
This was a big decision! They must have had some knowledge about Jesus. I would not think that Jesus was a complete stranger to them. I am sure there was something special about Jesus that made the men feel that Jesus was a special man to learn from.

Salt and light are symbols. Christians are to be like salt. Salt makes everything taste better. It brings out the flavor of the food. No one notices the salt. They just know the food tastes good. So as Christians we do not bring attention to ourselves but because we are in the world the good things that we do and the good way we live makes the world a better place.
Christians are like a light. We are not to hide our faith and belief in Jesus. Our faith and believing in Jesus shows people their sin so they can ask for forgiveness. We know how to have forgiveness. We teach them. We give them “light” and understanding about God and Jesus.
