Bible Text: Matthew 5:13–14; 1 Corinthians 2:2 | Preacher: Pastor Peter Gregory | The twelve disciples must have been shocked when Jesus told them, “You are the salt of the earth. You are the light of the world” (Matt 5:13, 14). We likely feel the same way. St. Paul points us to “Jesus Christ and Him crucified” (1 Cor 2:2), who bore our sins and now lives in us. He salts us and enlightens us, making us salt and light also to others.
