You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
- Matthew 5:13
Too much salt in your diet can be very bad.
It can make you retain water, it can give you high blood pressure, kidney problems all kinds of bad things.
But salt is actually important to your body, and we have to have some salt to live.
Salt is a preservative, helping to keep food from going bad, so if we are salt, we should preserve the word.
Salt is always best when it comes into contact with other things, adding flavor and value, so what value are we adding by being here?
Salt will make us thirsty, are we thirsty for Jesus?
If we are the salt of the earth, we need to be preserving God’s word, so it isn’t destroyed by evil, we need to add value to other peoples lives by being a living example of Christ and we always be thirsty for more of Jesus.
We can be salt that does something or we can be salt that just sits on the table.
Which are you?
