Can you imagine putting salt on your food, but you couldn’t taste it? Hoping that it would put flavor where there was none, only to have that same boring bland taste in your mouth. Salt has been used for thousands of years to preserve and add taste to foods, which otherwise would be unpalatable. To have salt that doesn’t possess the properties of salt, makes the salt useless. That is what Jesus was talking about when He said, “You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt lo...ses its savor, with what shall it be salted? It is no longer good for anything, but to be thrown out and to be trodden underfoot by men.” (Matthew 5:13 MKJV) Jesus was comparing bland salt to a believer that did not possess the qualities a believer ought to have. As salt without flavor is useless, so is a believer who doesn’t reflect the qualities consistent with the person of Christ. The Christians flavor is Jesus! It is something people should taste wherever we go. Make sure that you leave the right taste in people’s mouth and not a bland and tasteless Christianity that according to Jesus is useless. Remember, you are the salt of the earth!
