Salt of Life
“You are the salt of the earth.
But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned?”Mt. 5:13a
Salt is universal and its uses are many. It preserves food, enhances flavor, melts snow, and also used as currency. It can also be found inside our bodies! Jesus tells His disciples that they are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. How are we salt of the earth? We are to be the salt that brings others to the Truth. Sometimes salt helps bring out the flavor of something, like the sweetness of certain fruits. We ought to be salt that help others see their belovedness, the image and likeness with which they were created. We are not be our own individual salt, adding our own flavor to the salt. We need to be the salt that communicates only Jesus, who is the way, the truth, and the life, and that leads others to the Father.
