Jesus does not even say, well, with a little bit of effort on your part and a little bit of effort on my part, you will be the salt of the earth and the light of the world, as if it's a goal to be attained one day in the future. Jesus looks on the crowd knowing exactly who they are, and I would contend he looks on us knowing exactly who we are, and he says, you are presently the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
