From the very beginning of His ministry, Jesus taught His followers to make a difference everywhere they went. He told them in words and He showed them in actions. It was on a hillside one day that He told all who followed Him, “You are the salt of the earth…You are the light of the world.” (Matthew 5:13-14) The most obvious illustration we can glean from Jesus’ remarks are found in the definitions of both salt and light. Salt and light are change agents.
Salt preserves and enhances the flavor of many foods. It heals many wounds. Salt is needed and useful in many ways.
Light brings safety. It uncovers things that are hidden. And it brings clarity to dim and shady circumstances. Light opens our eyes to see the truth.
Today let us live as change agents in our world. Hear the teaching of Jesus. Be salt! Be light!
