Salt Of The Earth
Monday January 28, 2019
Let me tell you why you are here. You’re here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this earth. If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste godliness? You’ve lost your usefulness and will end up in the garbage. (Matthew 5:13 MSG)
Everything Jesus said and did showed us the amazing qualities of God. He had compassion for the people around Him. He healed the sick and the lame. He spoke about God’s great love and forgiveness for people in such a way that crowds came and couldn’t get enough of what He had to say. As strange as it may sound, we are being flavoured with hope and trust by the salt of God’s word as we read these words and come to know how God truly can make a difference in our lives.
But how can people call for help if they don’t know who to trust? And how can they know who to trust if they haven’t heard of the One who can be trusted? And how can they hear if nobody tells them? And how is anyone going to tell them, unless someone is sent to do it? (Matthew 10:14 MSG) God is not willing for anyone to perish but wants everyone to come to Him. He wants people everywhere to know why Jesus died and was raised to life again. He wants them to know that because Jesus lives, we also will live forever. Do we who are reading this know the good news about Jesus, and if we do, are we spreading salt in our community?
Prayer: Heavenly Father, Help me to be the salt that spreads the good news of the gospel to others. I am blessed that others shared the good news with me. Amen
