In v. 13, the Sermon on the Mount moves from what a Christian looks like in the Beatitudes, to how a Christian should live in the body of the sermon. It is a significant shift. We must turn our hearts to how we live our lives for Jesus. Jesus uses the metaphors of salt and light to begin to guide us. Ultimately, salt and light impact any society. Salt impacted life in the ancient world by preserving and purifying foods. Jesus uses this metaphor to teach us how we can impact our world today. Can how we live our lives to actually preserve and purify the world around us? Yes!
Let us gather together this Sunday to worship God with all of our hearts, souls, strength, and minds. Let us worship together, pray, hear God’s Word, take communion, and gather in fellowship over dinner!
“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet.” - Matthew 5:13
- Pastor Curt
