Salt of the earth

 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.” Matthew 5:13

S

alt is commonly used as a sweetener in foods we cook. If it was missing in a meal, such meal will have no taste. Why has the Bible compared us to salt? The scripture says “Salt of the earth” which means we are the sweeteners of the earth. The word “earth” in this context generalizes every human on earth. In other words we are to give God-flavours to everyone who is yet to know Christ.

The sweetener of our salt-like nature here in earth is Jesus. This is the reason why the scripture says “if the salt loses its flavour, it is good for nothing” Let take for instance; you have been assigned to impact many men in a way that will bring them to Christ. If Christ is missing in your life, it will be impossible to impact them. Telling us that without Jesus, we are good for nothing, because He is our flavour that make us add value to men.

Dear reader, I am sure you are blessed this morning. Hold on to Jesus, He is the flavour men will crave for in you. You have Jesus so that you will impact many and draw them to the kingdom of God.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, Make me a salt on this earth. Let my life add value and sweetness to the life of many in Jesus name.
