Readings: Isaiah 58: 7-10; I Corinthians 2: 1-5; Matthew 5: 13-16
Text: “You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trodden under foot by men.” (Matthew 5: 13)
Meditation: Christians are called to give taste to both individual and communal lives. In modern parlance, the taste or flavor to life is the ‘value added’ of Christianity or of following Jesus. Translated into concrete lives… this means walking the extra mile… giving also our coat as well… loving our enemies or doing and living that ‘MORE’ that is required of Jesus’ disciples.
