Reflection

Sunday 8th February 2026

This Sunday we looked at the themes of “Salt and Light” from the Sermon on the Mount. Christians are called to have a positive influence on the world around them. Jesus said to his followers “You are the salt of the earth”. Salt purifies, keeps putrification at bay and gives authentic taste. As Christians we should live pure lives which help others to be good. We can have an antiseptic influence on society. And we can help the world to live in the right way as God intended. We can show the world that we have the right balance in life (like the right amount of salt and vinegar on our fish and chips) to have joy and peace in life.
Jesus also conveyed a wonderful truth. He said to his followers “you are the light of the world”. As Christian people our lives should radiate love and joy and peace. Our faith should be evident for all to see especially outwith the church.
Are you helping this world to be a better place? A realm of Gods blessing?
