You Are The Salt Of The Earth And The Light Of The World

YOU ARE THE SALT OF THE EARTH

AND THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD

Rev. A.J. Ogden

Jesus, having ascended back to heaven to be with the Father, has left born again believers on earth to be salt and light; salt for preservation and light for illumination. Salt, as we all know, will keep meat from rotting or spoiling when used plentifully. When we butchered hogs back on the farm before refrigeration came, we had to salt down the meat to prevent it from spoiling. Knowing what Jesus meant when he said in Matthew 5:13, “You are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.” Born again Christians on this earth prevent us from rotting in our sins and trespasses as a nation. Christian influence keeps sin from completely rotting us away.

When an unbelieving people or nation fights the work of Christians, they are fighting the very thing that has kept us from total decay in our land. They are in effect hurting their own selves and don’t even know it. God completely destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah because there was not found even ten saved people. The preserving element was missing; I mean Christians.

In Matthew 5:14 God says, “Ye are the light of the world.” You Christians are light, illumination to a lost and dying world. The closer you walk in the footsteps of Christ, the more light you give. He says when we are backslidden and far from God our light does not shine brightly.

We Christians are left here to be shining representatives of Christ and Heaven. How bright is my light? How salty is your life before others? It is frightening to know that every day we live, a great number of unsaved people are watching your life and mine. They are looking to see if we are really real, or to see if we are professors, but not possessors. If we have really been washed in the blood of the Lamb, we need to be like Jesus. If we are otherwise, people doubt our salvation and are discouraged from repenting.

Lord please help us to be salt and light to a lost and dying world. Help us to understand that we are left here for a little while for that purpose.
