Yet, they are also Education equips us with knowledge and skills for living. It also edifies us so thatso similar in many ways. we contribute to the well-being of others around us. We bring hope about whatSalt belongs to the earth. It is a humble ingredient. However it is indispensable is there in our future.in the food that we eat, as it adds taste and flavour. It also cleanses and preserves. However, let us not forget that we have to be dependent on another Source,These processes take place without visible signs. greater than who we are. Jesus said, “I am the light of the world” (John 8:12)Light, on the other hand, is meant to be seen. In fact, we cannot see without it. and “I have come that they may have life and that they may have itIt calls for attention. Without it, we cannot move around in our daily activities. more abundantly” (John 10:10). If we stray from Him, we lose our saltiness, and the light within us becomes darkness.The complexity of these two elements is seen in two similar ways. First, they are Let your years in ACS be formative years of preparing you to be salt and light inboth transformative. To be in contact with them is to bring about change. Salt the world.

Light, at least the naturalone that enables us to see the world around us, originates from the sun. Block the Rev Dr Wee Boon Huplight, and we will not see. Bishop The Methodist Church in Singapore Jesus tells us that our lives are to be like these two elements. Like the salt, we are to be humble agents of change by being immersed in the lives of people around us.10 We are to prevent decay and corruption. As light, we are to shine the way forward so that people can see where they are heading.
