The Salt of the Earth | Matthew 5:13

Salt, Sodium Chloride (NaCl) was a very precious commodity in the ancient world. It was expensive and had a wide range of uses. According to Pliny, “A civilised life is impossible without salt.” In the same way, the world would be lost without the church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Lord Jesus encourages His disciples to be the salt of the earth so that they may not lose heart but be courageous to influence the world for good.
