<p>Jesus has begun to call people to follow Him – two sets of brothers, who would soon start on the journey of a life time fishing for men. He has shown them some of the ministries they would be involved in. Then Jesus explained the traits of someone who would be following Him. </p><p>If one is to follow Jesus it will be obvious to all who see us that we are a disciple of Jesus. Jesus describes us as the salt of the earth, the light of the world. </p><p>As the salt of the earth we act as a preservative agent for the world. As light we expose what is often hidden. </p><p>For the Christian, if we are being salt and light, we will not be able to hide the fact that indeed we are Christians. </p><p>Does our life have bite to it as a Christian? Or have we lost our saltiness? Are we shining brightly For Christ? Or have we dimmed as a follower? </p><p>As Jesus calls people to follow Him, not only does He warn them that they will receive persecution, but there will also be no place to hide as a Christian. Being salt and light will be obvious. In a world needing salt and light the Christian will stand out. </p>
