We Are Salt of the Earth & His Light to Our World

If the human body, body of blood and muscle, is to live, it needs salt.
If the body of Christ, body of peace and justice, is to live, it needs us!
If the earthly creation, bustling and blooming, is to flourish it needs the sun’s light.
If the new creation we are in Christ to flourish, it needs the Spirit’s light!
Jesus says we are the salt of the earth, the light to the world.
Our faith, our love, our hope – essential and salt and light.
But if salt isn’t salty, it isn’t what it’s meant to be.
And if light doesn’t shine, it isn’t what it is meant to be.
Jesus says we are the salt of the earth, the light to the world.
We shall be who we are meant to be in Christ: a welcoming oasis, a compassionate community, a justice-making people, giving glory to God.
