Salt & Light (Matthew 5:13-16)

Salt preserves. Light reveals. And Jesus says His people are both.In this episode of The King’s Way, Michael McIntyre continues through the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5:13-16, where Jesus calls His followers “the salt of the earth” and “the light of the world.” These are not suggestions for what Christians might someday become. They describe what kingdom citizens already are.But what does it mean to be salt in a decaying world? What does it mean to shine as light in the darkness? Together, we’ll see that salt must stay salty, light must stay visible, and the purpose of both is the glory of our Father in heaven.As we continue this study, we pray that Christ would keep us from becoming useless through compromise, teach us not to hide the light He has given, and help us live distinctly and faithfully in the King’s way.The King has called His people salt and light. Now we must live as what He says we are.
