Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

You are the salt of the earth. You are the light of the world. That is your Christian vocation. This is how Jesus uses His Christians. This is not what you have to be, but who you are. His salt and His light. So Jesus sprinkles you where He needs you to preserve a rotting world. For that's what salt does. And so Jesus put you to be His light as well. So God is putting you in the darkness -- and maybe in some really deep, dark places! -- to light them up. Jesus hasn't forgotten you and He's not punishing you. Rather, He needs you there. To be His salt. To be His light.
