Salt has long been used to preserve food, add flavor and to purify. At the time of Christ, salt was more valuable than gold. If contaminated by other elements, salt loses its savor and becomes ineffective, or “good for nothing.”
As believers in Christ, He has a special purpose for us. We are to add flavor to and purify our surroundings. Think of the characteristic about which Jesus taught in Matthew 5:3-13. How much better would the world be if Christians flavored the world with more meekness and humility?
STAY SALTY!
