One of my goals this year is to be more salty! Our whole family loves salt, in fact, I have my Swiss sister send me Swiss salt several times a year, because we love it so much. Salt has some wonderful attributes. A few of them are, it makes food taste great, it keeps you from slipping on the ice by melting it, it makes you thirsty, and it is a preservative. In the scripture in Matt 5:13-14 we are called the salt of the earth and the light of the world. If we take the natural attributes of ice and put them in a spiritual context, we can see that we should bring a good taste to those in the world. We can do this by being authentic, truly living our life in front of unbelievers. We can keep others from falling into the enemies traps, and we can see the hardest, coldest heart melted. We can cause those who don’t know Christ yet to be thirsty for the things of God, and last of all, we can help preserve a world that needs Jesus so desperately. So let’s be the salt of the earth. We can be the light on the hill that doesn’t hide, but shines brightly so that all can see the true light of Jesus shining through us. Salt and light, just like Jesus!
