Jesus said, "You are the salt of the earth." What did he mean by that? Salt is crucial to our existance. With out the proper sodium balance in our bodies we could die. Without the gospel we will die as well. The gospel is as important to our soul as salt is for our bodies. Salt permeates our bodies in just the right amount in order to keep us balanced. The gospel, in just the right amount, can change our lives. Too much and it can leave us bewildered or skeptical. Too little and we might not believe.

Salt was a valuable commidity back in the day of Jesus. It still is today. People would ship salt all over the world because of it's value. In the same what Jesus wanted His disciples to spread the gospel through out the entie world. If they would succeed as becomming, 'the salt of the earth' the gospel would permeate the entire world.

This week I challenge you to become the 'salt of your family', the 'salt of your school', or the 'salt of your job.' Allow the gospel to permeate your soul and become an effective agent in spreading the gospel to those who don't believe.
