Matthew 5:13 -- On Saltiness

"Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men."
Matthew 5:13


I like the idea here of people being symbolic salt (rather than literal salt, like Lot's wife). Salt preserves and prevents other things from becoming corrupt, and whether that means the world itself or all of humanity, or both... the same question: If we don't do that job, then who will? If the salt doesn't work, how can you salt the salt? If we aren't useful in preserving each other, then we've lost sight of our main purpose, and are about as useful as gravel.

Today, let's remember to be salty (in a good way, of course). :) Let's work with God and do all we can to prevent the corruption and to preserve the earth.
