Salt of the earth

We are all familiar with the scripture referencing the savour of salt which has been lost.  Matthew 5:13

Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted?

From this passage we learn at least two things:

1. we are the salt of the earth
2. salt without savour is less than it can be

So what it this savour that makes or breaks salt?

I am not claiming to interpret this reference beyond what others have, but note that we often use the terminology "salt has lost its savour," but that is incorrect.

The reference states "salt has lost his savour," which I propose is the very answer to our question.

What makes the rhetorical salt of the earth so significant is the very fact that it mirrors the Savior's attributes, characteristics, and qualities in abundant measure though as yet incomplete.

Your welcome to your own interpretation. I encourage your insights, but for me and my understanding, I believe following the attributes of Christ is what gives us savour.

Giving of yourself will change your life and change the way you see the world, and the way it sees you.

We can impact the entire world for good.

Each of us can make a difference.

Do it.

Let your light so shine
I am the light that you hold up
Be of good cheer

You must be the change you wish to see in the world—Gandhi
