Salt of the Earth

Last Sunday's sermon covered the scripture verses found in the fifth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew, particularly verses thirteen through sixteen.  

Matthew 5:13-16  New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)

Salt and Light
13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled under foot.

14 “You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. 15 No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lamp-stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.

The main points of the sermon pertained to the "salt" portion of the verses.  There are a number of ways to consider the metaphor of "salt" but the three that I sought to address in the sermon were: 1) preservative 2) fertilizer 3) catalyst.

Take a listen to the video linked above to find out just what I mean by these three analogies.

Thank you for stopping in and as always...

Be a blessing to someone today!

In His constant care,
Roy
