Mark 9:50
Jesus is highlighting the flavor-enriching nature of salt, and its preservative powers. The Christian life is to make a difference in this world, and that is what Jesus is concerned about. Just as the lost are condemned and manifest the works of darkness, the saved are to manifest the works of light.
Heavenly Father, thank you for your Word! The teaching we find in it challenges us every day to strive to be the Christian that we are supposed to be. The resources you give us are complete, but we must depend upon what you have given us. We must not trust in the flesh. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
