Jesus doesn’t tell us to be the salt of the earth or the light of the world. He tells us that we already are. All we have to do then to be the salt and the light is to follow Jesus. We don’t have to be the meal. We just have to preserve the meal, and season it. Jesus himself is the meal. And we don’t have to be the light, either. We just have to reflect it. Jesus is the light of the world. So, my friends, let’s not lose our saltiness. And let’s not hide our light. Because the world needs both now as much as ever. And Jesus is counting on us, to be the salt of the earth, and the light of the world. To God be all the glory. Amen.
