"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men."
"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."
As we discussed the different properties of salt - its seasoning, as a preservative, how it enhances our food - one of our group members made the comment that salt can also be corrosive. For example, salt put on roadways corrodes the underside of cars; or, consuming too much salt can contribute to high blood pressure and other health issues.How do you think that might apply to this scripture? Can we, as followers of Christ, be corrosive? I would love to hear your thoughts!
