Clearly Jesus was using the metaphors of salt and light in a positive sense.
He was telling people to be like salt by living a life that causes others to thirst
for God, that spices up the world, and that retards the moral decay of society.
And just as light exposes and attracts, Jesus was saying, "I want you to live
the kind of life that illuminates my truth for people, that shines my compassion
into dark places of hopelessness and despair, and that draws people toward
me—because I, ultimately, am the light of life."
