I begin with the letter S Answer: Salt DISCUSSION Read Matthew 5:13 ASK: What does this verse mean? ASK: What does salt do?
SAY: Salt does many things. In Jesus’ day salt helped to keep food fresh. It also gives food flavor and it can make you thirsty too. KEY: When people see how you know and live for Jesus, it will make them thirsty to know Jesus too. But if the salt gives no flavor, it has no effect. In other words, if salt doesn’t do what salt should do, it not going to make any difference. That’s like someone who knows Jesus, but doesn’t live for Him. The light they shine won’t make people thirsty to know and follow Jesus. Their witness is worthless. ASK: Do you think your relationship with God and how it shows in your life makes other people want what you have? ASK: What can we do that can help other people be thirsty for the kind of life we have in Jesus? Take prayer requests and PRAY with your family.
(EXTRA: Make the word “Salt” your Word of the Day and see how many times your family can use it in conversations in the next 24 hours.)
