Jesus has just given a good list of what kind of people his followers are supposed to be like. Or at least the standard they are to work toward. He was describing people and now he is beginning to share the impact those kind of people can have. People who are poor in spirit, humble, meek, mourn what God mourns, hunger and thirst for righteousness, merciful, pure in heart, make peace are sure to be a little different than the crowd. If you are living into those beatitudes, you will definitely stand out. That is being salty and bright. It is being set apart. The cool thing about being set apart is that it is a lifelong process. Salvation takes but a moment, but sanctification lasts a lifetime. It is a daily practice of being washed by the Word of God and letting Holy Spirit work in us to progressively mature in our faith.
