“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.
“You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. — Matthew 5:13-16
The biggest question we never think about is this: Why am I here? When we are young, the question is always about what’s next for me. When we are old, the questions are always about what if things had been different. But at some point the question needs to be asked: Why am I here? What is my purpose? As we consider the words of Jesus it becomes clear that our purpose revolves around making the world a better place.
