Matthew Ch 5:13 "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt should lose its taste, how can it be made salty? It's no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet. 14 You are the light of the world. A city situated on a hill cannot be hidden. 15. No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket, but rather on a lampstand, and it gives light for all who are in the house. 16. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven."
Are you one of those who adds salt to your food?
Anytime I'm cooking burgers, eggs, Fries, a juicy steak, I always add Salt. Salt enhances the flavor. It's valuable to cooks. When you eat something that is bland or tasteless or perhaps missing that flavor, salt makes the difference. But if we don't use that salt over time it loses it's flavor. It becomes no value to anyone.
In the same way we have the message of the Gospel, the Good News of Jesus. If we make no effort to affect the world we become just like that salt that loses flavor. We need to pour out the salt into the world. Pour out the message of the gospel & the love of Christ. We need to add a flavor of Jesus into the lives of people around us. Jesus enhances our lives like salt enhances our food.
When Jesus enhances our lives we live to be more like Him. We sit down & salt our spiritual lives in God's word & through prayer & through being a light into this world by our good works/deeds. By showing the love of Christ & sharing Christ with others. In a time like now, we have opportunities around us to share the love of Jesus Christ & serve others by giving, loving, praying & encouraging one another. Be the salt of the earth & the light of the world for Jesus Christ. Help enhance your corner of the world.
