00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,691
The beautiful Sermon on the Mount
2
00:00:02,691 --> 00:00:05,445
filled hope in the hearts of the people.
3
00:00:07,630 --> 00:00:12,714
Jesus continues motivating the followers who they really are.
4
00:00:13,814 --> 00:00:17,189
He said, "You are the salt of the earth,
5
00:00:17,189 --> 00:00:19,054
add taste to lives.
6
00:00:19,876 --> 00:00:22,756
You are the light, shine before the world."
7
00:00:23,870 --> 00:00:26,484
What does the salt and the light have to teach us?
8
00:00:27,689 --> 00:00:30,000
As salt purifies, preserves,
9
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,759
and produces rich flavor for our daily food,
10
00:00:33,759 --> 00:00:37,751
the disciples of Jesus are invited to be the "salt"
11
00:00:37,751 --> 00:00:40,383
for the world of human society
12
00:00:40,383 --> 00:00:44,655
to refine and spread the rich flavor of God's mercy,
13
00:00:44,655 --> 00:00:46,897
righteousness, peace, and joy.
14
00:00:47,961 --> 00:00:50,356
We can't imagine a life without light.
15
00:00:51,557 --> 00:00:54,638
The light gives life and it leads.
16
00:00:55,798 --> 00:00:58,518
Light is also seen as symbol or expression
17
00:00:58,518 --> 00:01:01,608
of the inner beauty, truth and goodness of God.
18
00:01:02,846 --> 00:01:06,397
The light of Christ, strengthens our mission,
19
00:01:06,397 --> 00:01:08,804
to be light-bearers of Christ,
20
00:01:08,804 --> 00:01:12,000
so that others may see the truth of the Gospel
21
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,828
and be freed from the bondages and deception.
22
00:01:15,963 --> 00:01:20,170
A self-centered life is a tasteless life in darkness.
23
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,510
The salt can't make food tasty,
24
00:01:23,510 --> 00:01:26,324
being away from the food, in a safe place.
25
00:01:27,356 --> 00:01:29,949
A lamp hidden doesn't serve the purpose.
26
00:01:31,221 --> 00:01:34,035
To be effective, Prophet Isaiah reminds,
27
00:01:34,035 --> 00:01:37,603
that we need to be involved where we live,
28
00:01:37,603 --> 00:01:40,387
body broken and blood -shed.
29
00:01:40,903 --> 00:01:44,545
Christ is the source of our saltiness,
30
00:01:44,545 --> 00:01:47,040
Christ is the fuel for our light.
31
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,510
Let us add taste of Christ to the society in which we live
32
00:01:51,510 --> 00:01:53,362
and thus give meaning to our life.
33
00:01:54,153 --> 00:01:57,113
Let us shine, bring the light of Christ,
34
00:01:57,113 --> 00:02:00,654
and thus give purpose to our existence.
