In looking at Matthew 5:13-16, Jesus words of being "Salt and Light" the question arises... what does He mean? Was Jesus giving the church a "Cultural Mandate"? Is Jesus encouraging us to influence the "Common Good"? Well, meaning is found in context. Looking at the context of Matthew we see that Jesus was actually encouraging His followers to make disciples! Being "Salt and Light" is far more personal, relational, and intentional than we might think!
