Jesus has taught us in the Beatitudes who we are and what we have in our covenant relationship with Him. Now He teaches us who we are to be to the world. We are to be salt and light to a hopeless and dark world.
The world is out to rob us of these precious gifts of salt and light. Salt adds flavor and hope. Light gives us God's truth and what is right. We are to keep alive these inspirations of hope and life against the endless onslaughts of humanistic religions and secular humanism.
Wherever Jesus went He brought life, which inspired hope. He has given Himself to us to the same in us.
