Matthew 5:13-16
Being the Light
In our exploration of what it means to be ‘salt and light’ in the world, we dive deep into Jesus’ teachings from the Sermon on the Mount. This powerful metaphor challenges us to consider our role as disciples in a world that often seems shrouded in darkness. Are we truly living up to our calling to be preservers of goodness and bearers of divine light? As we reflect on Matthew 5:13-16, we’re reminded that our identity in Christ isn’t just a personal matter—it’s a collective responsibility to hinder evil, remain consistent in our faith, and build beauty in the world around us. This message urges us to examine how we’re living out our faith in our daily lives, whether at work, in our families, or in our communities. Are we allowing our light to shine brightly, or are we hiding it under a basket? The call to be salt and light is not just about personal piety, but about actively engaging with the world in a way that glorifies our Father in heaven.
