But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out by men." Matt 5:13 This saying is not often deeply considered. Salt is highly valuable in Jesus' day. It brings out the flavor in food and makes some things edible that other wise would be very bland. It is also a preservative. Jesus is telling his followers that they're job as His followers is to help people appreciate God's gift of life in the world, also His presence and grace, i.e., to bring out the flavor of God in people's lives, so that they might better appreciate Him, thus preserving His relationship with them.
