> Matthew 5:14-16
>
> 14 “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your **light** shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
What does Jesus mean by *light*? Talents? Spiritual gifts? God showing through us? Something else?
*Update: I have now also asked this at Biblical Hermeneutics , as mentioned in comments below.*
