Rick Lancaster - May 14, 2023
Being Salt and Light – Matthew 5:13-16
Pastor Rick Lancaster continues a series in the gospel of Matthew: The Savior-King and His Kingdom. Jesus uses two similitudes to describe a Christ-follower’s role in this decaying and dark world. These are the effects a believer living the beatitudes will manifest to the world around us. The world is in a state of decay and is becoming increasingly dark. It up to Christ-followers to be what Christ says they are. Matthew’s gospel serves as a bridge between the Old and New Testaments. Matthew seeks to prove to the Jews that Jesus is the long-awaited Messiah. For those of us who are not Jews, Matthew helps us to see our Savior-King more clearly and through his gospel learn to live well in Christ’s kingdom today.
