NOT blending in

We recently had a church event in which we were given NEON yellow tshirts. They are the kind of bright that can burn your retinas. Seriously, turn off the lights and the shirt glows. Driving up to the event, from hundreds of yards away we could see the bright yellow shirts. After the event we drove home, right when we got out of the car our neighbor commented, "WOW those are bright shirts." "thanks" we said.
When Jesus says in Matthew 5:14 "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Neither 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. 16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven." He talks about when your a Christian your life should look different, that you should not hide your faith in Jesus.
I think these shirts are a perfect example of nonhidenness. That we should live lives for Jesus like these shirts. The kind of life that is so different that it can't be hidden. The kind of life for Jesus that our neighbors notice.
