Salt preserves, flavours, and purifies. Jesus says His followers are meant to have that same preserving, enhancing effect on the world around them. But a disciple who loses their distinctiveness becomes useless.
Memory phrase: You are the salt of the earth
Talk about it: Have you ever tasted food without any salt? What was it like? How can you be 'salt' at school or home?
Prayer: God, help me make the world around me a little better — like salt makes food taste good.
