Salt and Light

By Junchol Lee


Ut pergas pasco dum audis, audi in fenestra nova.

Most of us might have asked ourselves the question, "What is the purpose of my existence here on earth, God?" Here is one of the answers that Jesus gave in Matthew 5:13-14, "You are the salt of the earth. And you are the light of the world." As a Christian, you might automatically assume that what Jesus meant by "you" is could only be the "you" who is a Christian and thus reading the Scripture. However, if you then take a moment and think about it, you might realize the truth that Jesus' response is not that simple!
