Salt

I just saw again on video a message from one of my pastors, Rob Wegner. Rob was teaching in part of a message series called Viral Effect. This particular message was about Matthew 5:13, which reads "¹³You 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."

What Rob spoke to us about from this is that what Jesus is telling us is this, He believes in us and we matter to Him. Jesus tells us that we are the salt of the earth. It is through us that He brings His kingdom on earth as it is in heaven, or "up there down here" as Rob would say.

This ties in with my previous post. If we are to be the salt of this earth, we must first surrender all of ourselves to Himself so we don't lose any saltiness.

This is just profound.
