An advertisement I saw some days ago comes to my mind and I find it hard, to forget it. It started with “Setting the Standards.” If I remember correctly a firm was advertising taps, water taps, I think.

The Collins Concise Dictionary explains the word standard like this: ” an accepted or approved example of something against which others are judged or measured.”

In the sermon on the mount the Lord Jesus Christ says in Matthew 5:13: “You are the SALT of the earth.” And then He explains it in the same verse. And in Matthew 5:14 He says: ” You are the LIGHT of the world.” And then He explains it in the following verses 15 and 16.

He is speaking to His desciples. We are his desciples. ARE WE SETTING THE STANDARDS? I am asking that myself today!
