UNSALTED

Matt 5:13
"You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men. NASU
** The other day I was at the church and I saw a jar of peanuts sitting on the counter. I was a bit hungry and I took a hand full and put them in my mouth. As I began to chew, I tasted this horrible bland taste as if I was chewing balls of cardboard. I looked at the jar and there was the problem. “Unsalted!” I managed to chomp down the rest and went and washed my mouth out with a coke or something but the point of this is, salt adds flavor to foods. I’ve never been just a man of the world. I mean I’ve never just been an unsaved person walking around in the world. I’ve always know Jesus as my savior my whole life. I have however been around people who do not live their lives for Jesus and I can see how wonderful their lives could be if they would just choose to be salted. Jesus, in this verse, is talking to Christians. “You are the salt of the earth.” The only reason that the world is as great as it is today is because we are IN it. I don’t know if you’ve been watching the news at all but there are little pockets of our world that have completely abandoned anything that has to do with Jesus and when I look at them on the TV, all I see is BLAND. If you are a Christian, keep salting everywhere you go and you will see great taste.
