Read Matthew 5:13.
Salt in Jesus' time is not the same salt we use today. It was much more valuable & was used to preserve food, add flavor to food, and to heal. Discuss the differences between then & now and the importance salt held back then.
We’re called to be the salt of the earth, we’re called to be different. What areas of your life feel polluted by the world? Where have you compromised in order to fit in with society instead of being the salt?
Read Matthew 5:14-16.
Think about the first time you used a flashlight as a kid. Did you shine it directly into your eyes? That’s sometimes what happens with us. Instead of shining the light of Jesus onto others, we point it at ourselves and focus on the dark spots in us. Do you struggle with only focusing on the dark? What’s a practical step you can take to start seeing/spreading the light?
Spiritual Practice
Prayer: Spend time in prayer with God. Ask Him to help you be the salt, to go against the grain of the world. Thank Him for sending His Son to shine light on all of us. Ask Him to help you spread that light to others.
