“Salt and Light” was
sermon topic chosen by Rev.
Keith Brown Sunday mor
ning at Lucan United
Church. Speaking from
Matthew 5: Rev. Brown told
his congregation that
Christians were paid a very
high compliment but that
they must live up to the
meaning of the compliment
by being the salt of the earth
and light of the world.
He said that we must be
like salt, lending a unique
“taste” to Christianity, pure
as salt which comes from the
sun and the sea, although the
sea is not as pure as it was in
the time of Christ, preser
vative and antiseptic, so we
may having a healing affect
on those around us and
flavourful giving a radiance
and flavour to our belief.
But if we do not witness,
and have let our lives lose
His influence then we are
like salt which has lost its
flavour. Jesus commanded
us to follow His lead in being
a “Light to the World” and if
we do this the world will see
the light of His goodness in
our daily lives and He will
give us grace to carry out
His will.

ceramics.
