ST. MARK 9:49-50
(50) For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. (51) 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.
COMMENTARY:
Brethren in the Lord, in this context, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, is speaking to us in the parable of salt, which is (light of our soul); if the lights in us are deemed by our unrighteousness, and we live in darkness, how can we affect the lives of others in this sinful world: Let us have salt (light of our soul), so we can live peaceable with all men.
Case in point, Christians, are to be shinning lights in this sinful generation, because we are anointed children of God, and we bear the mark of salvation upon us: if our lights are not shinning; how can we emulate Christ in this sinful generation? We can keep our lights shinning by practicing what the scripture says: We are to (a) Love God with all your hearts and souls; (b) Love our neighbors as ourselves; (c) give to the poor and needy; (d) Fear God and depart from evil; when we practice these attributes; our light shall shine, and we will live peaceable with all men.
CONCLUSION:
Brethren in the Lord, Jesus has given us salt in the spirit; we are to use the salt to salt en others, if we are not righteous and do evil: our salt will be tasteless and will not be useful for ourselves or anyone, but to be thrown out and trample on; let us try to do the will of the father with love, and peace so we could retain the savory of our salt in Jesus Name! Amen and Amen!
(2 Corinthians 13:11) Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
