We are what we are

My Sunday Scripture 2011.2.6.

The Text: Matthew 5:13-16.

You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned? It is no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house. Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.

My Reading Notes:

This is one of the best analogy to tell us what is life.

You are salt. The nature of salt is its taste. If a salt loses its taste, then it is not salt at all. The same may apply to other things. You are sugar. You are a tree. You are a flower. The myth is that we are what we are. Only human beings have such problems. Sometimes we forget what we are. A tree never forgets. Salt never forget. Animals never forget. They would grow, they would shine, they would live like themselves. Only human being sometimes would forget. We forget that we are light, we can shine and we should shine. Some times we tend to think that we are only wax. Like candles never lit.
