“You are the salt of the earth; but if the
salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing
but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. 14 You are the light of the world. A city that is set
on a hill cannot be hidden.”
انتم ملح الارض .ولكن ان فسد الملح فبماذا
يملح .لا يصلح بعد لشيء الا لان يطرح خارجا ويداس من الناس .
14 انتم نور العالم .لا يمكن ان تخفى مدينة موضوعة على
جبل .
Matthew 5:13-14
Please
note that Jesus never challenges us to become salt or light. He simply says
that we are - and we are either fulfilling or failing that responsibility. Salt
is needed because the world is rotting and decaying and if our Christianity is
also rotting and decaying, it won't be any good. Light is needed because the
world is in darkness, and if our Christianity imitates the darkness, we have
nothing to show the world.
To
be effective we must seek to be Christlike in everything we say and do all the
time.
I invite you to repeat the following prayer
for yourself:
Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant
blessings and
inseparable love. Thank You Lord that Jesus bought me with
His precious blood and through Jesus’ redemptive work on The Cross I am
granted access to You God, my Heavenly Father and I will spend eternity with
You. Father God I pray that You make me more and more like
Your Son so that I can fulfill the responsibility of being the salt and the
light to everyone I can be in contact with in my everyday life. In the name of
the King of kings and Lord of lords, in the Holy Name of Jesus I pray. To Him be
the glory and the power and the dominion forever and ever and unto ages of
ages. Amen.
Jesus loves you,
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
