Theme of the Month: The Secret message of salt
Fri, 04 November

“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.” (Matt 5:13).

In Matthew we read that our Lord looked at the multitudes and began to deliver His message. He told them that they had come there for healing, but healing would not make them happy. He healed them, yet they were not happy. They had no true joy. They needed salt. Our Lord was saying, ‘When you become my salt, even though you are few, through you I will give true peace, joy and happiness to the whole world’. That is why He chose only a few men in the beginning. He never asked the multitude to follow Him, but He said to a few chosen men, ‘Follow me, and I will make you the salt of the earth.”

Salt has to be purified before it can be used. Salt was manufactured in Palestine from the waters of the dead Sea. It had to be purified before it was used for cooking. There are several stages mentioned in Matthew 5:3-12. Those who follow the Lord have to go through these stages and then only can they become true salt.

Today we find sorrow, suffering and unhappiness everywhere. Men’s lives are like salt without savour. When the salt is refined, it is separated into two parts; one has taste and the other is tasteless. The latter will be thrown out. Sometimes it is used to fill up the basements of buildings under construction. The salt which has lost its savour is quite useless. It is not useful either for trees or for human beings or for birds. Our Lord wants us to be good salt that we may bring new taste and new joy into many lives.

🙏🙏 Praise The LORD 🙏🙏
