With all that's going on in society, it's vital that every Christian understands how Christ calls us to live.
In Matthews gospel, chapter 5:13-16, Jesus calls His followers "Salt & Light."
Salt has a number of uses, but if we just think about how it flavours food for a moment, then we can relate that to our lives as Christians.
Jesus wants us to live in such a way that we add flavour to the culture around us!
Food can be quite bland without a pinch of salt, & as we engage in our communities, we can add positive, aromatic flavour, by showing love, mercy, kindness, grace, all characteristics that Christ Himself showed.
The when we think about light, it's not hard to picture being in a dark room & switching on the light.
What happens?
Suddenly the darkness is consumed by the light!
Again, Jesus calls us to live in such a way that we bring light into our community.
So, has your faith in Christ been influencing the way you've been living?
My prayer for you, is that you shine brightly for Christ, at home, at work, at school, wherever you are!
And that you live in such a way that our society is enriched, enhanced, & flavoured with the Good News !
