Salt And Light 1
November 13, 2024
Having recently visited a country where Christians are persecuted, I return home not only to marvel at our religious freedom, but at how lightly we take that high privilege. Do we as Christ followers in our country blend in? Christians in the country I visited are noted, followed, and persecuted. They are identifiably salt and light.
We experience little persecution here. Is that because we are no longer salt and light? Jesus taught us that we are to be evident to all because of our taste, saltiness, and our light, seen for our brightness. Matthew 5: 13 “You are the salt of the earth.” Salt is a preservative. Is our presence preserving God’s presence in our county? Not so much as I read today’s news.
Dear Lord, help us, once again, be salt in our country.
