No.
Salt, Light
Jesus's introduction to the Sermon on the Mount continues with His proclamation of His receptive audience's role in the world as both salt and light. In this short saying, Jesus is calling His disciples to be who they were made to be: those who together make things better (and for a long time) in a broken world and those who boldly shine Christ's light in a dark world. Underneath it all is the great call to "love God with all of your heart, soul, mind, and strength... and to love your neighbor as yourself."
