  • PER087 The Sermon on the Mount (3): the salt of the earth

    The article examines the ‘salt of the earth’ in Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, analysed in Matthew 5:13 with connections to Mark's and Luke's Gospels. Jesus uses this metaphor to illustrate the disciples' role as bearers of wisdom and protection against corruption, warning against losing their spiritual influence.

    Mark 9.50 (King James Version) :
    Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.

  • PER241 The image of salt without flavour

    The article 'PER241 - The image of salt without flavour' analyses a passage of Luke 14:34-35, where Jesus teaches that disciples must be like salt, essential and transforming. If a disciple loses his spiritual 'flavour', he becomes useless, like insipid salt. This teaching calls for an active and lasting commitment in the spiritual life.

    Matthew 5.13 (King James Version) :
    Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
