Emphasis Preaching Journal

Modern medicine tells us there are advantages to a low salt diet. When we take in a lot of salt, our bodies retain more water and our hearts must work faster. So we are cautioned that too much salt is not good for our health. When Jesus talks about being the salt of the earth, we can't worry about our health. When the salt of the Christian faith is needed, we must be its representatives. The world does not need a low salt diet when we are referring to the salt that Jesus talked about. This salt of the presence and influence of Christians is something greatly needed.
