Jesus tells us that we’re the salt of the earth, and we’re the sunshine of the world (Matthew 5:13-14). He doesn’t tell us that we’d like to change into change agents (salt or light); he tells us we are change agents. In precedent days, salt was primarily used not as an aid to taste but as a preservative. Jesus is saying that we’re the worldwide moral preservatives. And then, as now, light shone in dark places to point out us the technique to go. He is saying that we’re the worldwide spiritual illuminators. He also tells us it’s possible to cover our light under a bowl, and while chemically salt cannot lose its saltiness, salt then (and now) could get ruined by having other elements to it. So, our saltiness and our light-i-ness can get ruined by either hiding and never speaking out (light under a bowl) or being corrupted by non-Christian behavior and thoughts (losing our saltiness). So then, how can we make an actual difference in our world?Photo Credit: ©Unsplash/gregrosenke
