“The Power Of Salt”
Wednesday, February 26, 2025Key Verse
“Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted?” Matthew 5:13a
Text — Matthew 5:13-16
Message
Salt is well-known for its sweetness; it adds sweetness to the food we eat daily. Salt also acts as a preservative, it preserves food, it is also an alternative to refrigerator. Despite the beautiful use of salt, it might lose its flavour under certain conditions when it contains chemical impurities. Other possible reasons might be: if the salt has absorbed humidity and eventually evaporated and left behind a substance that looks like salt but did not taste like it.
Our Lord Jesus Christ made reference to salt as a preservative. He said, “ye are the salt of the earth” which means we have a duty as friends of Jesus to preserve the purity and holiness in our lives despite what we see around us. You also have a duty to warn others of the danger of remaining in sin.
Your life must sweeten others, do not lose your sweetness to the cares of this life and to fleshly lust. You must turn away from your bad ways and return to God. Then pray that your life will sweeten others so you can be a source of blessing to them.
