trample on it. You are the light of the world. A city built on a mountain cannot be
hidden. No one lights a lamp and covers it; instead it is put on a lamp stand, where it gives light
to everyone in the house. In the same way your light must shine before others, so that
they may see the good you do and praise your Father in heaven.
Reflection:
Salt and light, two objects fairly common in Jesus’ time. He uses
them to drive a point. His disciples should be, like salt, enhance the flavor of
good that is present in the world structure, preserve it and cleanse the world
of the dirt brought about by sin. Three functions that salt performs. They
must also be light. By a life of witness, they ought to seduce others to love the
God that they love and serve. And so, the challenge of Jesus to His followers
remain today. Be salt and light of the world.
