Scripture: Matthew 5:13-14
“You are the salt of the earth… You are the light of the world.”
Reflection
Having described the character of His followers, Jesus now describes their mission: they are salt and light. Salt preserves, flavors, and purifies; light reveals, guides, and drives out darkness. Both are small in themselves but transformative in effect.
Disciples are not called to withdraw from the world but to engage it with holy influence. Salt is only useful when mixed into food; light only shines when it is set on a stand. In the same way, our faith is not meant to be hidden but lived openly in the world.
Jesus tells us that salt that has lost its flavor is powerless. A dim light provides little illumination. When we keep our eyes on Jesus, his power and divine light shine through us to others.
This influence is not about drawing attention to ourselves. Jesus says, “Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” The Spirit empowers us to live visibly and authentically, pointing others to the glory of God. In Christ, you are both seasoned and shining —a witness of the Kingdom wherever you go.
