Matthew 5:13–16
Jesus
said to the crowds, “You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its
taste, how can its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything,
but is thrown out and trampled under foot. You are the light of the world. A
city built on a hill cannot be hid. No one after lighting a lamp puts it under
the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the
house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may
see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.”
Reflection
Jesus calls me the salt of the earth and
the light of the world. How would
I respond to Jesus’ calling?
As a Christian, how do I contribute something
vital to the world—something that does not draw attention to me but which is
needed?
