Scripture

Matthew 5:13-16

You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt should lose its taste, how can it be made salty? It’s no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet. 14 “You are the light of the world. A city situated on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket, but rather on a lampstand, and it gives light for all who are 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."

After learning about salt, why do you think Jesus calls us the salt of the earth?

Salt adds flavor to food. It preserves things to make them last longer. It has always been valuable in the world and even been used as money. Jesus calls us the salt of the earth. We can flavor the world with His love, share about how He preserves our lives forever in heaven, and calls us His valuable children. We may be able to eat to much salt, but there's no such thing as too much Jesus.
