Salty Christians
Rev. William Mueller
Fifth Sunday after the Epiphany - Sermon Text: Matthew 5:13-20; Readings: Psalm 112:1-9; Isaiah 58:3-9a; Matthew 5:13-20
In His “Sermon on the Mount”, Jesus pulls us deeper into an understanding of our relationship with Him. He uses the metaphor of salt and light. Just a little bit of salt brings some great flavor. In complete darkness, even a small light will change everything. Yet in all this, Jesus still has a surprise for us!
Zeal
Do not be slothful in zeal … rejoice in hope … be constant in prayer.
Romans 12:11-12
As a college freshman, I had an early religion class where we started each day reciting Psalm 118:24, “This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” I remember the zeal with which our class would say this passage!
