"You are the salt of the earth," Matthew 5:13.
Jesus resets what it means to live as true humans on this planet. True humans live as citizens of the kingdom of God. In this capacity, true humans reflect the characteristics of the Man of men, of the Master, Christ Jesus. Christ shines through his people who thereby light the world. They produce for the rest of the world its valuable taste for God. If we will not repent so as to serve as light and salt, our whole endeavor becomes worth being thrown out and trod upon. Repent, said Jesus: Kingdom of God!
As we visit with a brother or sister today we encourage one another into the Way of Christ. And together we give thanks to God who preserves his own into eternity.
