New Century Version gives a good translation. “You are salt
of the earth. But if the salt loses its salty taste, it cannot be made salty
again. It is good for nothing, except to be thrown out and walked on.”
We depend on salt for our food so they would taste better. We often have salted butter put on vegetables and baked potatoes. I use sea salt. Why? They taste so good. People in the old days who do not have freezer, they use salt on fishes to preserve them. They use salt to keep the fishes from getting spoiled. During the winter we have icy ground we walk on, we used salt to melt the ice so we would not slip and fall. Truck uses salt to spread on the roads so it would be safe for people who drive the cars. Salt have many uses.
Jesus spoke to us through His word that we are the salt of the earth. How do we get salt in our lives? Fellowship with Jesus Christ through prayers and singing His praise, study God’s Word and He “pour salt” inside of us. Then we are the “salt” to others who needs the “flavor” in their spiritual growth. It is our fellowship and our sharing with God’s Word that brings flavor to others. Our lives and our friendship is like the salt that are enjoyable and a blessing to others. Fellowship with other Christians is very important part of Christian’s growth. .
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for the word of truth, Jesus Christ who encourages us to be the salt of our deaf people. Bless the deaf people who come to deaf church that we may share our “salt” to them so that they would come into Your presence with joy. Touch their hearts today and anoint them with Thy Word. Put joy in their heart to be happy in Christ that others may see and taste the joy of the Lord. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen

Song: Only Jesus
Only Jesus, only Jesus,
Only He can satisfy;
Every burden becomes a blessing,
When I know my Lord is night.

May the Lord reminds us how precious the salt in us!
