Y for Ye are the salt of the earth

 



The A-Z of Ministering by Duncan Horne

Ministering describes the collective and organised effort in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where members keep in regular contact with one another to offer spiritual support and welfare assistance

"Y" Post


In Jesus' Sermon on the Mount lecture, he said:

"Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men." 
(Matthew 5:13)

Salt was used to season sacrifices in Old Testament times. It completed the animal sacrifice and was a token of the covenant. Today salt is used to enhance the flavour of many foods.

Likewise it is our job to make covenants with the Lord and be the 'salt of the earth' as we keep those covenants. As we deliver the gospel of Jesus Christ through ministering to others, we enhance the flavour of the gospel on the earth.

It is a duty outlined by Jesus himself and endorsed by living prophets and apostles.


In all of your ministering work, seek to enhance, uplift and brighten others with simple gospel messages.
