Central Passage
Matthew 5:13-20
Subject
Salt and Light
Description

Jesus looks at his disciples and tells them, you all are "salt" and "light." We know how important salt and light are to wellbeing. Salt preserves food, gives flavor, and (according to the Morton company) has more than 14,000 uses. Light permits sight, gives growth to plants, is necessary to physical well-being. Salt and light are facets of creation—gifts of God that support human flourishing. When Jesus calls disciples salt and light, does that mean we are somehow elemental to God's recreation?
