Salt, of life:
William Barclay points out that there were three special qualities
associated with salt in Jesus' day. First, its whiteness was
associated with purity. Likewise, the Christian is to be an example of
purity. Second, it was used as a preservative to keep food from going
bad. In the same way, the Christian's influence should protect
against moral corruption. Third, the most obvious quality of salt was
that in lent flavor to bland foods -- the way Christians are to add
spice to a spiritually bland world.
