Biblical Text

“You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled under foot.” (Matthew 5.13, NRSV)

Questions

• Evaluate your discipleship honestly. How has believing in Jesus affected the way in which you relate to those who are not Christian? Would you say this way of relating is “saline”?
• How seriously have you taken this warning before? How would your discipleship change if you had access to only this verse? If there is little change, could you explain why? If there is much change, re-evaluate how seriously you had taken this warning.
