Hi, I'm Robert Jeffress, and I'm glad to serve as your Bible teacher every day on this great radio station on today's edition of Pathway to Victory.

You know, it's interesting in John 9.5, another one of those I AMS. I AM the Light of the World.

But here, Jesus says, you are the Light of the World.

Jesus is the light who generates light. He's like the sun.

But you and I don't generate light. We're like the moon. We reflect the light of the sun.

Welcome to Pathway to Victory with author and pastor Dr. Robert Jeffress.

Should Christians get involved in politics? The answer just might surprise you.

Today on Pathway to Victory, Dr. Robert Jeffress explains that Jesus not only encourages us to influence this world for the gospel, he commands it.

It all has to do with being the salt of the earth and the light of the world.

Now here's our Bible teacher to introduce today's message.

Dr. Jeffress, thanks David and welcome again to Pathway to Victory.

Imagine if you could sit down with Jesus for a cup of coffee, just you and Jesus face to face.

What do you think he would say to you? Well, my guess is that the answer is found in Matthew chapter 5.

In this passage, Jesus talked about the things that matter most in life. He talked about our prayer life, about cultivating healthy relationships,

he even had some things to say about our sex life.

This month on Pathway to Victory, we're taking a deep dive into Jesus' famous sermon on the Mount.

And as I prepared this series for you, I decided to write a book as well. It's called 18 Minutes with Jesus.

The subtitle is straight talk from the Savior about the things that matter most.

Did you know you can read the entire sermon on the Mount in 18 Minutes?

And yet it contains some of the most revolutionary teaching in history.

Before we begin the third message in this 10-part series, I want to make sure that you have an occasion

to request a copy of my brand new book, also titled 18 Minutes with Jesus.
