In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus taught that what we do and endure matter. He called the Disciples “salt of the earth” and “light of the world.” Like a sprinkling of salt that enhances the flavor of food or a lamp that brightens a room, continuing to learn from the Lord and to share His teaching keep faith from becoming lackluster. Jesus came to fulfill the Old Testament law and revelations given through the prophets. For example, swearing to do something and then reneging remains wrong, but Jesus advised just saying “yes” or “no” and meaning it-much simpler! When we feel overburdened by the things we need to do, how often does prayer get skipped?
