Choose Neighbour - Verse 6

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
Salt

Back to the Sermon on the Mount. (see last week) Jesus offers two metaphors to describe how his disciples are to be in the world. First, salt. Salt preserves and flavours. Salt ‘makes life taste better’.


Stop and Think


What effect does your life have on others? Does it add flavour? Does it make ‘life taste better’?
What might make your life more ‘salty’?

Choose to Act

Think about situations you will encounter today.
Choose to bring some flavour through your words and your actions - and maybe even by your silence.
