What Does It Mean

To Be Salt And Light?

It's not an easy question to answer.

I believe that, literally, to be salt of the earth means to preserve the earth... to preserve the Earth as God made it, beautiful, honest, filled with love and hope. As a Christian, I want to put out all of those things.. beauty and honesty, love and hope, preserving God's power on Earth, preserving the world as belonging to GOD, not to people or demons.

To be light in the world... We are supposed to be a shining example of God's love and truth. We are supposed to shine a light on God's work, and shine a light toward God. Shakespeare said "All the world is a stage, and all the men and women merely players". So what if God is the star of the show, and we, Christians, are the lighting technicians? We know where He is. We can see Him on stage, and we can see the work He is doing... but without our lights being on Him, nobody else can. It's just an empty stage.

So go... be salt and light in the world.... Preserve the love and truth, the beauty that God created, and shine your Light on Him, on His way, so that others may find Him too.
