The church’s role
Written by Toul raistrick,dewi hughes
Salt and light
Read Matthew 5:13-16
This is a challenging passage from Jesus’ ‘Sermon on the mount’.
?)What are the natural characteristics and uses of salt?
?)What do we think Jesus meant when he said, ‘You are the salt of the earth’?
(verse 13)
?)If salt loses its taste, what is its use – in food and in the spiritual sense?
?)What does it mean for the church to be ‘the light of the world’? (verse 14)
?)If we are salt and light, what impact should we be having in our community and church?
?)What things could we do to have more impact on our community and church?

मण्डलीको भूमिका
नून र ज्योति
मत्ती ५:१३-१६ पढ्नुहोस्।
यो येशूले दिनुभएको ‘डाँडाको उपदेश ‘ बाट निकालिएको चुनौतीपूर्ण खण्ड हो।
(?) नूनको स्वभाविक विशेषताहरू र प्रयोग के के हुन् ?
(?) येशूले ‘तिमीहरू पृथ्वीका नून हौ ‘ भनी भन्नुहुँदा के भन्न खोज्नुभएको थियो होला (पद १३) ?
(?) यदि नूनले आफ्नो स्वाद गुमायो भने, यसको के काम खानामा पनि र आत्मिकी अर्थमा पनि ?
(?) मण्डलीको लागि ‘संसारको ज्योति’ हुनु भनेको के हो (पद १४) ?
(?) यदि हामी नून र ज्योति हौं भने, हाम्रो समुदायमा र मण्डलीमा हाम्रो प्रभाव कस्तो हुनुपर्छ?
