“Salt and Light” a sermon based on Matthew 5:13-20 Preached at Mount Albert United Church February 9, 2020
“You are the salt of the earth. If salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. People don’t light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see you clearly and glorify the Spirit which infuses you.” ********************************************************************************* I love to cook when I have time, and because of that I tend to buy all kinds of salt to use depending on the dish. We saw some of those this morning. We tend to think of salt as just white stuff – if we stretch a little we might use the ‘fleur de sel’, the first harvest of salt which is not the heavy crystals, but lighter and flakier. My favourite cooking salt is the oregano salt from Portugal
