Reflections with Andy - Luke 14: 34-35 - Stay Salty

In Luke 14:34–35, Jesus says, “Salt is good, but if salt loses its taste, how can its saltiness be restored?” It’s a short passage, but it packs a punch. Salt in Jesus’ day had two main purposes—to season and to preserve—and that’s exactly what our faith should do. We should make life better, like seasoning that brings out flavor, and we should help preserve what’s good and holy in the world. Our families, workplaces, and communities ought to be brighter and kinder because we’re there. And just like salt keeps things from decaying, we’re called to hold on to what’s good—kindness, honesty, forgiveness, grace. Jesus’ warning reminds us to stay “salty,” to keep our edge, our joy, and our witness alive. So today, bring out the best wherever you go, preserve what’s good, and let your life reflect the goodness of Christ. Stay salty, friends.
