Matthew 5:13-20 - Jesus’ teaching that we are the salt of the earth and the light of the world is not a command to achieve something, but a declaration of our God given identity. This identity does not come from our abilities, knowledge, or effort, but from God’s own nature shared with us. Even in our weakness, hunger, and vulnerability, Jesus calls us blessed and capable of revealing God’s meaning in the world. Like the biblical figures who lived beyond their limitations, we too are invited into a life of repentance, living beyond ourselves through God’s power. As salt and light, we become God’s blessing for others.
