Within the broader context of the Sermon on The Mount, this week we take a look at Jesus speaking about us being Salt and Light. The presence of Christians should improve the lives of those around them, just like salt and light improve the taste of food and brighten up a dark room. Even though Christians may be persecuted or overlooked, their presence and living out of the beautiful attitudes Jesus taught will have a positive impact. A little bit of Christianity goes a long way, and even though they may be outnumbered, Christians can still make a difference.~~~Get your Personal Study Guide to go with the series:https://ruc.org.za/matthewPlan a visit to Rosebank Union Church in Sandton, Johannesburghttps://ruc.org.za/visit
