Here’s a reflection on salt inspired by Jesus’ teaching about salt
in Matthew 5:13, Mark 9:50, and Luke 14:34-35. It was written by Roddy Hamilton

Salt
(inspired
by Matthew 5:13, Mark 9:50, Luke 14:34-35)
Salt: to melt away the frozenness of God's People
To take what has been dulled
And add the flavour once more
And add the flavour once more
Of tasting suffering in bread crumbs
As well as the heavenly banquet
Of tasting creation in a bite of apple
And the pain of it all
As well as the heavenly banquet
Of tasting creation in a bite of apple
And the pain of it all
Of tasting the whole story of faith
In a glass of water
In a glass of water
Bringing out the life
The fullness
The richness of what lies hidden
And letting the potential
Change us
Enthuse us
Delight us
The fullness
The richness of what lies hidden
And letting the potential
Change us
Enthuse us
Delight us
Salt: melting away what has been frozen
And setting free the fullness
That energises our expectations
Once more
And setting free the fullness
That energises our expectations
Once more
