"You are the salt of the earth....You are the light of the world."
—Jesus, Matthew 5:13-14"
"So Jesus calls his disciples to exert a double influence on the secular community, a negative influence by arresting its decay and a positive influence by bringing light into its darkness. For it is one thing to stop the spread of evil; it is another to promote the spread of truth, beauty and goodness."
—John R. W. Stott, The Message of the Sermon on The Mount
