Salt & Light ~
The next week or so we will be digging into a sermon given by Jesus. Matthew records the sermon in its entirety, while the other writers pull out certain points.
We are salt and light. What does salt do? It seasons & flavors our foods. Salt also provides an essential nutrient to our bodies. As Christians, we are the salt of the world. We speak of The essential nutrient - Jesus Christ. We also flavor the world with His Words and His Message as we spread it to the corners of the earth. However, we must be careful not to lose our saltiness. Don't become complacent, don't start to compromise! In doing so, your faith will become flavorless.
What does light do? It casts out darkness. It shows us the truth and the way. It casts out fear & anxiety. Make sure to let your light shine to those around you. Share the truth of Jesus, show them the way to a relationship with Him. Cast out fear & doubt in yourself & in others.
This salt & light only come from a relationship with Jesus Christ. It is essential to work everyday on this relationship. Draw closer to God & you will shine forth with His light.
