Description:"You are the salt of the earth . . . You are the light of the world." Matthew 5:13-14"I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church." Matthew 16:18The world tries to define us in different ways. We try to define ourselves one way or another. But who are we really? How does God define us?The Gospel of Matthew was written to a group of Christians who didn�t yet know who they were. They were faithful Jews in the synagogue community in Galilee who had found the Messiah. Jesus had changed everything. But how should they think of themselves now, as Jewish or Christian?
