"We have not brought salvation to the earth, and people of the world have not come to life." (Isaiah 26:18b, NIV)
This was Jesus' purpose for Israel to the nations. It is also that of the Church.
The only way the, "....people of the world (will) come to life", is when the Church walks in, "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden", try as we may.
The only way the purpose of our text is fulfilled is when you and I, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."
Father, in Jesus' Name, I pray to bring, "salvation to the earth, and [Your] life." Amen,

When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
