BE SALT AND LIGHT THE WORLD THE WORLD

Reading: Matthew 5: 13 to 16

 

From Preaching Jesus Christ on the hill one of them about to be salt of the earth and light of the world as it is written in Matthew 5: 13-16 as follows:

13. "You are the salt of the earth. If salt becomes tasteless, with what it salted? No more pointless besides the cast and subordination. 
14 You are the light of the world. Kota is located on the mountain may not be hidden. 
15 After all people are not lighted a candle, put it under the bushel, but on a candlestick to light all the people in the house. 
16 So let your light shining in front of people, so that they see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. "

When the Qur'an stating that only verse revelation exceptional and there is no more unusual books such as the Koran is written in Al Baqarah 23. "And if you (still) in doubt about the Quran, which We reveal unto Our slave (Muhammad), create a [31] a letter (only) of the Qur'an Resembling like it and encourage all friends and friendship besides Allah, if ye speak the true. "

We try to find verses in the Qur'an that the quality and value as Matthew 5: 13 to 16 that is about to be salt of the earth and light of the world. From our various keywords such as salts enter the world or the word "salt" - "bright" - "benefit" - "useful" - "useful" - "light of the world" and some keywords that show beneficial to our environment is not found. On We take this opportunity to give an opportunity to you to help us find matching words as written in Matthew 5: 13 to 16. 
conclusion as we are we can not find the word or phrase that is as great Matthew 5: 13 to 16 in the Qur'an. From a Perikop only in the Bible as written in Matthew 5: 13 to 16, the Qur'an would be his match. With Verse Matthew 5: 13-16 actually been able to break Al Baqarah verse 23, about the challenges of the Qur'an.

Let us return to the topic of our world that is to be salt and light of the world according to our reading as in Matthew 5: 13-16. Actually a great many postings about being "salt and light of the world" please you type the keyword on google search engines then you will find lots of information and a description of all about being salt and light of the world.

Actually the core teachings of Jesus Christ is how people can be useful for others, could be useful for other people. This teaching is actually the case for all people, without being confined by religious groups and adopted. 
question that could arise is why Jesus took the parable of the salt and light? in fact a great many teachings of Jesus Christ which is similar to the above but reading our topic is Matthew 5: 13-16 .. The essence of what I am and that you can be useful for others.

Why do we say that these words occur to anyone without being restricted by class or religion; please you listen completely reading Matthew 5: 13 to 16 over and over again in order to truly understand and comprehend. Word of God above mention "you". You said it is general and not limited by the particular religion only.

Functions of all sorts besides salt to taste in cooking as well as for preservation of food and many more others. We will not discuss about the functions and benefits of salt but focus on the topic. Jesus Christ taught us that we can be the salt of the earth and light Duni. 
Have you imagine if you become sebungkah or spoon salt? according to you what's going on when you add salt in cooking?. Due to the nature of the salt is readily soluble in water, and salt you add to the cooking will dissolve, be commingled with other materials. Salt will penetrate the material and provide a sense of salty dishes. 
Did you know how the price of salt around you? to Indonesia or other countries salt is very cheap price and most of the salt price not exceeding the price of oil. Because this is a cheap price then salt can UNINTENTIONALLY by everyone.Natural resources as a source of salt sea water that is available, even 70% of the surface area of the earth is ocean. Up for some sea salt then stocks will always be.

The addition of salt in the amount that passes will give a sense of grace in cooking but if the amount is too little salt then still less savory dishes, or when the amount of salt does not affect too much too sweet dishes. Then need salt to flavor food as well as in certain portions. This is different if the salt be used for other needs. Or what if the use of salt added to cooking salt wrapped by plastic bag, 'and the salt also benefits because there is no obstruction by plastic bags. Although salt in plastic should be in the form of heat to salt in plastic bag has turned into a liquid, it still does not have its benefits. If salt in plastic pouches want to benefit then let make holes or distort the plastic bag until the salt dissolves can be distributed and cooking and just left the plastic bag only. Or as verse 13 ie naturally salt has salty taste because of other things and be fresh or do not feel it would be pointless. Salt should still give particular feature that is salty and salty taste of this and should be able to assimilate and integrate itself into other cooking ingredients.

What can you learn from the above illustration? that Jesus Christ taught that every man be beneficial for others. And that should be the Underline is every person who will be the salt of the world then he should be willing to sacrifice. Willingly gave herself to mingle and still has a special feature.

Similarly, it is light, the light should illuminate not only themselves but the light can illuminate the surroundings should light source. C. It also has the meaning of light similar to be salt of the earth that is beneficial for the neighborhood.

And one thing is very important to the teachings of Jesus Christ as to be salt of the earth and light of the world be as it is written in Matthew 5: 13 to 16 above is to be salt of the earth or the light of the world that are beneficial for the environment not for ourselves. When we become salt or light is not solely because of me or you (I'm the man) but that can be in honor of God and God can increasingly benefit (salt and light), up through ourselves (which became the world's salt and light world) God only ever noble and exalted. 
Become salt of the earth or be light of the world not to earn a reward or not to bribe God or that God delights in us. Be the salt of the world or become a light to the world, not our own self-interest (the human me) but purely for Allah himself.Because one man's hell until God heed / cared. Let it happen we will of man is not above but entirely on the will of God himself.
