The King and His Kingdom: Matthew 5:13-16 Salt and Light
•
Joanne Hagemeyer
After the rich poetry of the Beatitudes, it feels like Jesus is switching gears and speaking in riddles. What does Jesus mean about being the salt of the world, or the light of the world? Well, one clue is embedded in Jesus’s final two blessings about being righteous and being persecuted. Another clue is tucked somewhere you and I wouldn’t necessarily think to look —Talmudic teaching from the first century. More clues come up through the daily life of Jesus’s time. This week, let's talk it all through, let's talk about what it means to season the world around us, and to be a welcome light in a dark place.
