2 Cor 1:18-22 / Matthew 5:13-16
Life is not like a mathematical equation or scientific formula.
In mathematics, the final solution or answer is either correct or wrong.
In science, the results can be achieved by following the correct procedures.
But in life, it is not about the correct answers, nor getting the desired results.
There are many grey areas in life that make it intriguing as well as interesting.
Because in life, emotions are mixed into relationships, and personalities are entangled in discussions.
But life can be much simpler and clearer when we know what is true, what is good, what is right and what is loving.
In the 1st reading, St. Paul makes it clear that what he is teaching is God’s truth.
So it is “Yes” to the truth, the goodness, the righteousness and the love of Jesus Christ.
As disciples of Jesus, we are to help others to say “Yes” to God.
Just as salt gives taste, and light enable sight, may others taste and see what is true, what is good, what is right and what is loving by the way we live our lives.
