A little Salt and a little Light
A little Salt and a little Light
Terry Dashner
The Bible says that you are the light and the salt of the world.
I find it interesting that it uses these two metaphors. Why do I
say that? For one, just a pinch of salt goes a long way. It
takes just a little to enrich the taste of food. Without it,
food is too bland. With too much, it ruins the taste. A little
salt is just right. Stop and think about this. You are one
person against the world. By your own strength and might the
world can be overwhelming to you. But, with the strength of
Christ in you, you become like salt to the world. You and your
faith in Christ are just enough to change the world for the
better. The Bible says that faith as small as a mustard seed is
all you need to move aside the mountains in your life.
In regards to light, consider this. An aged and prosperous
businessman worried about who would carry on after his death.
His only relatives were three young nephews. So he called them
in and said that one of them would be his successor.
