Words of a King-Part 3: Salt and Light

Matt Hebert, The Crossway Ministry, 8/14/24
Matthew 5:13-16
Jesus uses two metaphors: light and salt to describe the purposes of believers on earth. The characteristics of light are relatively easy to understand. In addition, the commentary He gave regarding light illuminates His meaning, because light and darkness are common themes in scripture and God’s Kingdom, but the commentary on the salt only referenced it losing its flavor and because of that losing its earthly purpose. I’m not trying to overdo this but does salt actually have flavor? So what is the meaning of the word for taste/savor in reference to salt?
