Worth your Salt – Man as Provider

“Salt is good, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is of no use either for the soil or for the manure pile. It is thrown away. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” - Luke 14:34-35 ESV

In February 1980, the U.S. Olympic hockey team pulled off what became known as the “Miracle on Ice.” In a surprising upset, the American team defeated the powerful Soviet team and went on to win the gold medal by beating Finland while the crowd chanted, “U.S.A.!” Before the team’s victory over the Soviets, coach Herb Brooks reportedly told his players, “You are born to be a player. You are meant to be here at this time. This is your moment.”

As followers of Jesus, we, too, are made for this moment in history. We are called to be a positive presence in the world, one that Jesus likened to salt. In ancient times, salt was incredibly valuable. Roman soldiers were sometimes paid in salt. This payment was called the “salarium,” which is where our word “salary” comes from. Ever heard the phrase, “He’s not worth his salt?” Now you know where it came from.

The salt used in the Holy Land was either mined from the salt cliffs along the Dead Sea, which were seven miles long and several hundred feet high, or evaporated from the sea’s waters. Often, when this salt was exposed to the elements or mixed with dirt, it lost its flavor. Such salt was worthless. So it is with our witness and influence for Christ. Once tainted by the world and corrupted by sin, it loses its essential purity and holiness.
